My Brooklyn Grey G42 build

Jack@AUTOID · 07-28-2022, 09:32 AM

Looks epic mate! Nice build!!!

M2PDX · 07-28-2022, 10:15 AM

Good lookin! I love the look.

BMW should have an option for a manual transmission in the 230i. THAT would be incredible.

Damn, nice build!

Carbon fiber mirrorcaps

Carbon fiber paddle shifters
Tinted windows all around
Window banner
Cobra suspension springs & spacers
Blacked out 240i exhaust tips
Blacked out fender emblems
Oem bmw fender flares
Black tinted sequential blinkers in mirrors

Splitter and diffuser still on the way

The more I look at this car, the better looking it gets.

I saw one of these beasts in the wild yesterday, a TPM debadged, and the rear looks totally different in person than in photos. Photos simply don't do the rear justice. It looks new, exciting, but also still very Bavarian. And front-end wise, I honestly think this is the best looking new design BMW has out at the moment.

Chemist87 · 08-02-2022, 07:34 PM

Gorgeous! Great work with the mirror caps and mods in general. Best wishes with her!

Where'd you get that window banner?

fwenky · 08-09-2022, 12:38 AM

An answer to some of the questions

The OEM fender flares are ordered at my bmw dealer and they come unpainted. I glued them on.

Before I got the car i always wanted quad tips but lately everyone wants it, so I just hot the blacked out 240i tips and i will have it welded to make it a real exhaust.

The window banner is made by my wrapper, we cut out the sensor part in the middle

Carbon fiber interior, steering wheel and steering wheel trim are ordered and hopefully my splitter arrives too, been waiting for it for over two months

mlowz · 08-12-2022, 01:28 AM

Nice build, not a fan of the original m performance spoiler, but other than that, looks nasty!

fwenky · 08-29-2022, 09:11 AM

In the meanwhile i got the carbon interior, the red start button and my front splitter is at the painters

Jtstone · 08-29-2022, 09:34 AM

Is this lowered?

Value · 09-08-2022, 01:09 PM

Build is looking good Frank 👏🏻
