135i with blacked out lights.

:headbang:
This is my debadged 135i Sparkling Graphite Grey with high gloss black trim. My first upgrade is the blacked out tail lights, brake light and side markers. The lights look very bright when in operation at night time to answer and questions that may arise. The work was done at Custom Coach works in San Antonio TX. I think I am the only one in the country with this kind of cosmetic modification but if there was others I would like to know. By the way the lights are are OEM, they are just tinted. I have to admit stock is ok...... but custom is what people remember.

Looks oddly...naked...to me. I don't know.. Pretty clean though.

BTW, did you polish the car yourself? What did you use?

You need the blacked out shadowline grills for the front.. I think that would look great with that set up there... Like the blackouts

doesn't look bad but think i might prefer the contrast of the red tail lights on SGM with perhaps a very slight tint. Looks like they've done an excellent job though

Not my taste...it think of 90's mustangs when I see blacked out tails.

Looks great, but that license plate frame needs to go. Chrome looks out of place on your car. BMW makes a nice plain black (2nd one down) or a carbon fiber look frame that would look nice.

the front lights can't be done because of the silicon glue that is used. the orange defectors were the first thing I wanted gone. I will have to order the Euro style lights. I'm pretty sure they cost a good penny.

IMHO, if you go this route...seems like the front corners and wheels need to go dark too. The front corners really stand out now.
