2021 Alpine White 540i msport (update: ADV1 photoshoot done, yay)

Short intro: first car was an e46 coupe, second car was a c32 amg was part of mbworld for a long time, just traded in the F10 535 msport few month back for this beauty. F10 I had HK, surround view, hud, soft close, and rear shades. This time around I just went with a base car with msport, shadow line, and red brakes.

eBay-formance front and rear and mirror, JLmotoring Cf trunk spoiler, 12/15mm spacers, eBay black badge, side decal (realize it’s the F10 font, already got new fonts on the way) and didn’t do the grille stripes on the F10 but thought I try it on G30 to annoy certain ppl

Some old photos and new. Btw I do like how the front and rear diffuser uses all the stock mounting points.

haha, thx for the feedback. i don't mind the contrast it brings, but most likely it won't stay on for long.

Exterior mods are on point. Gloss black splitter looks really good making the car look sporty. Great shot pal.

The car is looking real nice with those parts. That front lip looks like OEM, except that it's not carbon (which is what I would prefer anyway). The fact that it costs like 1/20 of the price of the OEM version makes it an easy pick.

Do you have straight frontal shot of the car with the front lip installed? I want to see how well it lines up compared to OEM.

I hope you don't mind that I attach a picture of the OEM version for comparison purposes.

This is the 3 piece. I got from eBay also. Here is the link https://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Bumpe...-127632-2357-0

The listing says sold out, but if there are other sellers just look for one like this. This uses all the stock mounting plastic pins except the middle section you need two small screws.

Haha I do, but it’s a lease. Not trying to do something that I can’t undo in my driveway lol… unless I decide to buy it off later. Two more years to go, we’ll see
