2. Spoiler
3. Side skirts BY 3D DESIGN
4. Engine bay covers
5. Eventuri Cold Air Intake from IND
6. Front Splitter by 3D Design
7. Front grill
8. Front pressure lip
9. Rear exhaust diffuser
10. Rear reflectors blacked out
11. Front side reflectors replaced with painted ones
12. Wheels changed and powder coated black matte

Sorry about those sideway pics, They weren't that way when I took them or loaded them.
-Pics and this site are a battle for me....
But, Thanks!

Do the new side vents have an aerodynamic purpose or still like stock and there for visual only.

Also did you do the intakes yourself- they look great.

Congrats- car looks awesome.

Side vents are identical to stock. They even have a BMW part number. But after taking the stock ones off to replace with these, they are more than just cosmetic. There's some kind of small valve type thing behind there that looks like it does something?

The intake I did myself and was a piece of cake (now that I've done it). Got it from IND and Ryan was a huge help with phone support questions as I did the install. Fitment was/is amazing. Also got a nice swoosh sound now when turbos engage. I doubt much gain of anything performance wise but I like the look!

I wonder if the forum will compensate me for neck pain from looking at sideways pics.

The cars looks great though!

Here in the UK we don’t have the unsightly side reflectors……blacking them out as you have done looks so much better.

Yes, I decided on the larger profile of the 3D Design ones and sold the M Performance ones. Happy with the 3D ones now!

looks like the only thing you could add now Dinan turbo inlet pipes. I have been debating between the Venturi and the Turner cold air box. love the purple. My Gran Coupe is an "old man sedan" in Donnington Grey. Wonderful piece of machinery BMW built. I find it hard to believe they want to places in EV's Bryan H
