I saw one today and i must say its class. The interior is much better and the bodykit is mad. The only thing is that there is a tick out of the engine when it is idleing which is a bit annoying. Here a few pics

That rear Aero bumper looks...well....odd?

phil_c · Nov 16th, 2006, 07:18 PM

I thought that also from pictures. Looks alot better in real life though

I was just thinking that too about the roof spoiler, its not as good as the standard spoiler with the middle attachment point

TBH I'm not totally convinced about the aero kit in that colour, might take a bit of getting used to

I like them mirrors

I do like the Aero kit better then the normal bumpers looks nice in Blue

i hadnt noticed the spoiler! what on earth?!?! the standard one is a much better shape.

mGP · Nov 16th, 2006, 07:43 PM

I really, really like the front.....as for the rest of it...well.......'It could be better'...

Paul · Nov 16th, 2006, 07:43 PM

Spoiler is unusual, quirky I think might sum it up! Perfer the new aero kit to the old, but still prefer the standard car over the aero'd one (new and "old" shape).

ttocs · Nov 16th, 2006, 07:52 PM

Gotta agree with you there Paul, I've skipped the aero kit until I see one in the flesh

Juno · Nov 16th, 2006, 07:56 PM

Does this confirm that the aero kit is now fitted by the factory?

Pete

phil_c · Nov 16th, 2006, 08:09 PM

No it is dealer fit

popey · Nov 16th, 2006, 08:30 PM

Shame you have to put a reg plate on the front.

Looks better than I was expecting

OllyH · Nov 16th, 2006, 10:13 PM

Had been q interested in the aero kit but can't help thinking it looks a bit, added on, like a body kit you could buy from Halfords, especially the back. Not sure if I like it yet but prefer it to the standard body shape.

Same here, really like the front and sideskirts, but dunno about the rear.
But it´s probably looking much better irl.
pw/b with aerokit..me like!

~Marcus~ · Nov 16th, 2006, 10:28 PM

I LOVE the Aero kit bumpers and glad I have ordered it but that rear spoiler is way too boy racer for me - is it standard with the kit? - if so I'll leave it off!

GARY GP · Nov 16th, 2006, 10:39 PM

Christ look at the rear bumper and spoiler has it been in a crash!!

i really wanted to like the s but i think they had to much champagne (bugger)

don't drink and design a car!

I talked to a salesmen at BMW today and he told me that the aerokit includes front/rear bumpers, grill and sideskirts. Nothing about that roof spoiler.

Same as the Current Kit then; The spoiler was also available seperately and not as part of the kit.

I don't mind the spoiler

; But then again maybe it's just because I like to be different

I'll reserve judgement until I see it in the flesh.

The spoiler looked wicked at the paris show and I added it to my list then. Not sure about it here. But could just be the angles because the back bumper looks too big aswell. I really liked the aero kit on the yellow with black roof S I saw then, not to sure about this here but I will wait till I see it again in the flesh to comment to much more.

Glad the aero kits now available, thats exciting! Hope to see it for myself this weekend! Excited!
