Active and Sport are painted. I am partially offended by both offerings, I believe that E36 M3 twisties fit fine. | | | 12-04-2013, 04:55 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Santa Rosa, CA Posts: 407 | Quote: Originally Posted by BRADESTAR Base model wasn't painted.

I currently have a 1997 active with Alpinweiss color matched bumpers (#341 is noted on the build sheet) and unpainted (gray) side skirts, FWIW. __________________ 1995 318ti Base - Cosmosschwarz/Sandgrau R.I.P. 1997 318ti Active - Alpinweiß III/Sandgrau 2013 328i Coupe - Le Mans Blau | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
