Default My ti.




Only two decent ones I have. The second one was more to show my horrible wheel fitment. I need spacers and camber badly!

not feeling the headlights, but not bad, those rims actually look pretty good with the white paint, get your sideskirts painted, change the headlights, get some m moldings and i think itd look great, and yeah, spacers would help haha

Thanks for the compliments, imho aswell, my wheels turned out great. I have those headlights because I wrecked the car about 4 days after I bought it and didn't have the money to pay for Depos... just needed something to drive again. And yes, the side skirts and rear lip will be painted to match the front as well, as I said above, I wrecked it and just got the front end fixed!

*And on the M moldings, I'm not M-power anything... so no.

I'm actually kinda digging the rims, 17"s would be much better but even in 15"s they don't look bad with that drop

I agree on the M moldings, it's nothing to do with "M power" or anything, they're just the same size and width as the bumper moldings so it looks a little cleaner

The headlights look like they're coupe fitment. Normally headlights are not coupe/sedan specific, but since the corners are integrated, you need the sedan/compact fitment. That being said, Depo Gen4 headlights look 100 times better and only cost about $125 @ DDMtuning.com. Stay away from DDM's projector36 or DJauto garbage. Standard Depo Gen4's are the best bang for the buck.

Your car looks nice and I'm not going to knock it, but it seems like you're trying too hard with the "hey look at me I'm different" mods. I think what happens is people see other cars with German flag mirrors, french'd fogs, 1-piece headlights, painted wheels etc, and think to themselves that their car would look good if they combine all of those mods onto one car. The final result is you end up with a cheaply modded car. Simple=Clean, Clean=Tasteful I've seen some really cleanly modded base model Ti's. Wasabinuki, Marcus and Philly are good examples.

Nothing bad against your car. It looks really unique and I'm actually very impressed with how good the wheels turned out. I think I mentioned it before, I personally prefer the look of a cleanly modded base model over the look of sport models(and I have a sport model, lol).

Here's a couple of my favorite Ti's:

The factory ones that came on Sport models do. However, if you don't like the ///M, they sell other badges that you can replace them with. Most popular is the "BMW MotorSport International" badges and I've even seen plain "BMW" badges.

Here's the factory badges and what I'm replacing them with:

I've always wanted to replace the M badge on my molding with something ti specific, but they don't sell anything like that and I wouldn't know how to do a custom set.

BMW had some really cool ones a while back, but they've since been discontinued. They made one that said "ClubSport" and another that said "Mtechnik". I think I remember seeing one that said "BMW Individual" which came on cars with the individual package.

I would like a molding badge that says Ti or 318ti. Simple yet effective. M colors would be cool too.

Funny, I don't think Club Sports came with the ClubSport badge on the mouldings at all.
