    Arrow Serious exterior overhaul

    Hey guys (and girls). I just wanted to gather some opinions of what you all think about adding these mods to my Black on Black E36 328I (4dr, lowered - but not too much )

    I'm sort of undecided between the side-mirror selection, a side mirror with turn signal would look really nice on a black 328I right?

    I also want to get that "High Gloss Shadow Line" finish around the windows (the factory option available on new BMWs)

    Thanks for the input!

    RICE?! HOw does changing the shitty headlights and getting the ACS rims plus the black side-mirrors make it riced?

    Maybe the silver side mirrors are stupid, but I hardly think the rest is riced.

    I'd go with the mirrors before I'd do those headlights. Just stick with ZKWs or Depos or something along those lines. U.S. spec would be better than those.
    You can't go wrong with ACS rims, so you're good to go in that area.
    For the mirrors how bout some ACS, also?

    The mirrors are rice for sure, but the rims are Wurst mit Kraut. Get it? "Rice" refers to mods characteristic of Japanese cars. However, "Wurst mit Kraut" refers to mods characteristic of German cars.

    Get some nice hellas (with the black housing ) and then get real M3 mirrors.

    I love the wheels though

    Wannabe M3 mirrors with wannabe MB integrated turn signals = bad news. Why not get OEM M3 mirrors? Or ACS ones like ElSupremo suggested? It's one thing to get the knock-off M3 mirrors for a non-E36 non-BMW, but since you have an E36, go with the real thing.

    Those rims are common, yeah? But they look nice.

    Lights look bad. Simply bad.

    Before you spend money on those mods, get some wheels and a body kit.

    Those headlights make me want to throw up, mirrors are personal taste but I don't like them. Wheels are nice.

    Turn signals look tacky on those mirrors.

    Wheels look nice, ACS is a good call.

    Headlights are not attractive.

    Ok. I didn't read through what everyone else said, but I'm sure I can guess.... and they're right. Negative on the headlights and mirrors. Check out DDM tuning for some headlights and m3 mirrors... your welcome
