White Stripes for a jerezblack M3
Hey guys,
i m going to take delivery in the coming days. my car will be jerez-black with cf-roof (e92). What do you think of a white stripe on the left and right side of the car like some Porsche have? Just White on black ground and with something like ===M=3== or ===BMW== or ===Hammer== (itīs my nickname in reallife too according to my familiename). |

do it! It's bold, original and chances are you'll luck out and it'll look okay. I wanna see it.

Never listen to anyone from the US school you on what looks good on a European car. It's like somone from Coca Cola telling the French how Champagne should taste like!!!!
Do some homework first, maybe photoshop it first. Bottom line decals can be removed or updated if it didn't go to plan. As for the flaming in the other thread, yet again Yanks don't know sh*t!!! From the country which brought us metal flake paint and flames on cars I think they need a history lesson on BMW striping. Nothing wrong with a bit of retro stripping on an M3 |

I say give it a shot, vinyl's relatively cheap...it certainly won't look any worse than some of the tacky wheels you've seen here.

white on Jerez is too much, might try matte clear or matte black for something understated, I like the colored M stripes, but then I love Martini stripes too.

As for the comments above that I'm stuck in the 80's although the cars pictured were from the 70's, Porsche's GT3 RS stripes are a homage back to the 70's cars and no one seems to criticise those. Have you guys over the pond not seen BMW's performance range yet including side stripes? |
