Even in NZ, a bodykit on an E28 is not a good look :eek:
M5 front lower spoiler, M tech boot spoiler and a bit of "stance" is as good as it gets :)

Quite surprised how unanimous we are in favour of no kit. I'd have thought all the M-Tech II lovers round here would have liked the extra bit of plastic..

You're making me doubt the trouble I'm going through to get the kit back on mine!

First pic is photoshopped, didnt realise I had used it. Did it about a year ago when I was bored and looking for a project and wondering what the e28 would look like as a 2door. Might still do it to my white m535 as the body is in need of some serious tlc... winkeye
i wish i could use photo shop like that great work
