Haha, not overly positive put but funny never the less! (+ how true).

OP, after spending that kind of money on your baby you surely have it exactly where you want it, no need to worry about what others think!

I like the color and the black wheels with carbon fiber. The stripe is not for me though.

I think everything looks fine. You're obviously going for a flashy look that grabs you.

I always thought single racing stripes were supposed to go on the drivers side though.

Not doubting, but just curious what type of mods would rack that much money... stroker build?

I think its a bit much, never been a fan of racing stripes.

I do think it would look better if the car didn't have the green pin striping and the racing stripe and the eye lids. Just a bit too much crap tacked onto the car.

Actually cars are expensive in Taiwan due to high import taxes. New M3 cost about $166k. I bought mine used, 2 year old car for about $100K and spent another $30K in mods. No stroker or ESS Super Charger, I wish though. I just have the regular stuff CF aeros, rims, brakes, suspension, exhaust, air filter, alcantara interior, wrap.

Ya no green stripes, for now this is the look I'm going for. feels like a new car with the wrap. But who knows may change next year. But I appreciate the comments you guys tell it like it is. I respect that.

Since we're all throwing opinions, I'm going to have to say no to the offset stripe! Sorry, but I'm not a fan. Pouring more salt on the wound, I'm not a fan of the wrap either. IMO, the color doesn't show off the lines of the car very well, nor does the wrap work well with the CF accents. However, I am digging the wheels, cf spoiler, and cf diffuser.

I actually like it. I personally wouldn't do it but I don't think it looks bad.

That being said, I love the setup of your front end. Which lip is that?and are the eye lids the only headlight mod?

I have never owned a green car before and that has been on purpose, but Um yea, I can't see a single thing I don't like about your M3. What year is it? Well I know it's 2017 but what year is your M3?

Green isn't personally one of my favorite colors, but I still think you have done a great job on the build, lots of respect for that

I like it. It does not look plain at least. Congrats! As far as the cost goes I feel your pain. It is same in Turkey! Car cost 70K and we pay 150K and its not only that you also have to pay abnormal taxes every 6 month for larger (V6 + Category) engines and its another 12K-15K per year and of course it does not include the inspection

I think it's worth noting that you showed the restraint to maintain only two tones (green and black) throughout the car. Love the green striping along the carbon fiber.

all nicely done !!

Thanks for everyone's comments it's cool to get everyones take on mods. Thats why we all drive a different M3s. Lips are Vorsteiner, eye lids same 3M wrap material. Yup no other headlight mods.
