I dont like it as much as the current one. It looks like a Clown car know. BMW should stick to the current one.

I have to give you props as its an amazing idea, just some ideas that i might add. (hope ya dont mind). I would make the front bumper wider and also make that lower opening a little smaller. Gotta go over the speed bump, then you may be on the right track.

Looks neat, but like others are saying, bring that front apron higher.

Looks like someone punched "P4UL" and he got a fat lip.

Its a very well done 'shop, but sorry mate, I cant say I like the styling.

Not to mention the impracticality Speed bumps, driveways etc


Some say he loves gaming and that he also loves house work..... All we know is, he's called The ScottyB!

I'd make it a shallower radius on the front lip, like others have said. But it does look nice.

Can't say either way whether I like it or not. But pulling on my driveway - I'd knock the front end off no problem

Its highly unlikely the Aero kit will change. BMW never changed the Aero kit for the 3 series coupe for its mid-life face lift, or the 5 series aero kit for its mid-life face lift (I don't mean the completly new 5 series).

So all those with Aero kit can breath a sigh of relief.
