Very nice!

Thanks for sharing man.

0.59 inches more legroom for the rear passengers. Awesome! Here's an idea...make the grille a part of the headlights too. No chrome/plastic. Just kidney-shaped LEDs that merge with the headlights. Shall look unique and luxurious, modern and sporty!

My guess is no and maybe even a few mm lower.

The line where the fender meets up with the A pillar is a lot cleaner on the F30. Nice detail.

bavarian19 · 12-06-2011, 02:55 PM

I like how the exhaust for the non-335 is pulled closer to the center of the car. Some of the earlier pictures made it seem like it was pushed out further.
