Small mod, it was less than $8.00 with shipping included. I need input on this. Good? Bad? Just plain ugly? It's stuck on there really well, and it's perfectly level.

You have a NICE M5! WHOA! :D

It looks so clean. I put this badge on, because, well, I'm obsessed with German cars.. It looks very cool too though..

Good! Is also kinda matches your car and our crappy plates. Btw, where do you live? There's a gray GTI across the street from me haha.

Thanks! And yeah I HATE NY plates.. And NY roads... I'm on Long Island, greater Smithtown-Area.

Now only if we didn't have those hideous plates...

AM3R > Trevor Mohr 07/16/2014 at 22:43

Haha I hate running a front plate. I plan on tinting soon and I may just plug the holes in my front bumper while it's getting tinted but that's just asking for a ticket.

Trevor Mohr > AM3R 07/16/2014 at 22:45

I have having holes drilled in the bumper.. I also want tints too.

My car is German and a very similar color....

We did. :D

oddly enough, there's usually a black GTI parked next to me!

Nice Bimmer! I love German cars. I will only buy German cars... It's a Jalop fetish or something, I'm just obsessed with them..

Good. It's the little things I like. Yours luckily was cheap - mine was live $20+ a piece. I like it though.

AM3R > Trevor Mohr 07/16/2014 at 22:55

+10000. It sounds cliche I guess but there's just something about the build quality and the ride/handling of German cars that I love.

Trevor Mohr > sellphones2493 07/16/2014 at 22:56

It's a really nice looking badge! Small things like that make a large difference, and that justifies the price.

Trevor Mohr > AM3R 07/16/2014 at 22:58

That, and the overall design language. The functional interiors, the beautiful gauge clusters (especially BMW's), and even the key fobs look great.

AM3R > Trevor Mohr 07/16/2014 at 23:02

1

YES! I have a boring black non sport interior but the E90's have gorgeous interiors. I'm also in love with the orange glow of the gauge cluster at night. It's really easy on the eyes.

Trevor Mohr > AM3R 07/16/2014 at 23:05

It's okay that you don't have the sport interior; it's still gorgeous! I love the 2-tone, the seat color is amazing, and a manual! I will say, BMW's have the best steering wheels. I've driven at least 5 Bimmers now, and the wheels are all perfectly sized and shaped. I love my GTI wheel too; it's honestly my favorite wheel. It feels great and is also perfectly sized. So, Germans are good at steering wheels too.

Heh yeah the roads suck too! And ah, I'm in Brooklyn.

My favorite part would have to be the seats.

Long Island is just... Between the people there, the traffic, just everything...

Good point on the steering wheel! The first thing I did was retrofit an M3 steering wheel. I recently sold it (for just a much as I bought it for) and swapped my old steering wheel back on.

I wish I had a two tone interior like the one above. Black is nice and classy but it gets hot and boring. The GTI steering wheel is PERFECT. In my limited experience driving one, I always enjoy how fat the steering wheel is. I have big hands so that's always something I appreciate.

Trevor Mohr > AM3R 07/16/2014 at 23:13

It's good that you sold it for the same price. Honestly all BMW steering wheels are extremely well-designed. I also have big hands, and having a wheel like that is great.

AM3R > Trevor Mohr 07/16/2014 at 23:14

I love those seats! I'm a fan of the plaid ones too but I'm a sucker for nice leather.

AM3R > Trevor Mohr 07/16/2014 at 23:21

What I like the most about German cars and BMW specifically is a variety of OEM upgrades. They hold value like nobody's business. The steering wheel was great but I want to step up from the stock 16's into something lighter and better looking so I sold them to a guy on an M3 forum who paid full price without haggling at all. I'm thinking about buying a BMW performance exhaust and looking at the price of used ones, I should be able to sell it for around $700 whenever I'm done with it. Not bad considering it's just under a grand new from the dealer installed.

Trevor Mohr > AM3R 07/16/2014 at 23:24

Completely agree. It's such a great benefit. I'm taking a complete OEM+ route with my car, so I'll have a ton of Euro parts in there. I'll start off with Euro LED tails, then I'm going to get the Euro switch with the rear fogs, and work from there.

AM3R > Trevor Mohr 07/16/2014 at 23:43

1

oem+ is a great way to go. I'm thinking 18 inch M3 wheels, performance exhaust, performance suspension, add Euro xenon headlights. I'll be completely satisfied once I have all this done and all parts will hold value pretty well so if I ever want to do something else I can just sell whatever I get tired of.

Trevor Mohr > AM3R 07/17/2014 at 00:26

That's a perfect set of mods, Xenons are great!

they look great and night driving will be A LOT better too!

good looking, nice mod especially for $8.00, shame I'm mad at Germany right now. I haven't even been able to drive my car since Sunday.

I LOVE Bangle-Era Bimmers. They are distinctive and look great. I even like the E65 7-Series..

Why are you mad at Germany? World Cup?

yea I really wanted Argentina to win. I may have cried when messi missed that free kick.

So yes I love Germany and all, I'm in love with German cars, but I like Argentina's soccer team more.

Oh me too I lived in Argentina so I'm biased but their team just doesn't feel as cocky for one thing. German cars are great I love my 944.

AM3R > Trevor Mohr 07/17/2014 at 14:16

I'm gonna have to completely agree with you. The E65 with the right set of wheels looks GREAT. I'm a big E60 fan too.

Trevor Mohr > AM3R 07/17/2014 at 17:24

E60s are pure art. In a world where it seems like all the cars are just blending together, BMW always manages to stand out and look great. The kidney grilles have to be my favorite thing of all cars, they look great.

AM3R > Trevor Mohr 07/17/2014 at 17:42

1

I love the kidney grills. I'm debating whether I should keep them chrome (only chrome part on the car) or switch them out for some oem Gloss black ones. Thoughts?

Trevor Mohr > AM3R 07/17/2014 at 17:43

1

I think that OEM gloss black ones would look great, especially on the color you have. Would be amazing!

AM3R > Trevor Mohr 07/17/2014 at 17:51

Good plan! That'll be the next mod. I can't wait to wash my car, it's been randomly storming the past few days so I never get the chance.

Trevor Mohr > AM3R 07/17/2014 at 18:35

Nothing better than the feeling of washing/waxing/detailing your car. I never just "wash" my car. It's a 4 hour process. :D

AM3R > Trevor Mohr 07/17/2014 at 18:59

I completely relate :D quick question, what do you use for the interior? I really wanna get the interior clean but I don't know what products to use.

Also, I recommend stoners invisible glass. Best thing to clean glass with.

Trevor Mohr > AM3R 07/17/2014 at 21:17

Thanks for the glass tip, I've been looking for something to clean the glass! For interior, I use the house vacuum first, I use ultra-microfiber cloths to polish metal parts, one of those air cans for the crevices and such, and that's about it. So far it's a new car, but when it ages I'll use things like Meguiars leather conditioner/cleaner.

AM3R > Trevor Mohr 07/17/2014 at 22:03

I need to find a good product to clean the plastics with. Those have gotten pretty scuffed up but I wanna bring them back to life. Luckily my leather still looks new, I haven't treated it yet.

Trevor Mohr > AM3R 07/17/2014 at 23:00

There are a few things from Mothers/Meguiar that are specifically made for plastic polishing and restoration. For the hard black plastics, especially on the exterior, there's a specific restorer for that. For the inside, there's Mothers Protectant, which is an all-use type thing. They also sell a specific carpet stain remover which, from my experience, works great.

AM3R > Trevor Mohr 07/17/2014 at 23:08

I'll definitely look into mothers sealant. I wanna fully detail the car so I can take some good pictures of it.

Do you detail it all by hand?

Trevor Mohr > AM3R 07/18/2014 at 00:04

0

It's a great feeling having that. Yes, I detail it all by hand. Sure it takes more time, but the more time you put in, the better the car will come out.

AM3R > Trevor Mohr 07/18/2014 at 00:36

I also do it all by hand. It's a good workout lol! The best feeling is when you finish and look back at it and know that you did it all by yourself. You always gotta reward yourself with a beer, a cigar, or (my favorite) some ice cream lol.

Trevor Mohr > AM3R 07/18/2014 at 01:06

It's definitely an amazing workout! And yes, that has to be one of the best feelings you can get. It's an accomplishment and you get this overwhelming sense of pride.

AM3R > Trevor Mohr 07/18/2014 at 01:22

Man the first time someone complimented how clean my car looked after my first detail I couldn't stop smiling the whole ride home. No one could ruin my day after that. The bird pooping on my car the next day did however ruin it.

Trevor Mohr > AM3R 07/18/2014 at 09:44

Oh that's the worst! At least it was small and removable, not like a mud puddle or something..
