Thanks. Yeah the stripes were another item that are less favourable on the forum but I think with the other black accents, they work well.

Lovely. And I love those wheels

Thanks, they were shot with an old Sony NEX5D which I bought in an airport 10 years ago whilst drunk. Finally getting round to having an interest.

Call me a crazy old man, but I rather like the door stripes. I don't think I'll get them but I like them in the pics.

I thought I liked those wheels until I looked closer and saw the "trying to be invisible" pointless black inner spokes.

Aye, well those "trying to be invisible pointless black inner spokes" do a fantastic job of making brake dust 'invisible' for many more days between washes thus leaving the car looking cleaner for longer.

Well at least you ditched the hideous standard wheels, I totally hate the way they look on my car and cant wait to decide on a set of replacements more to my taste.

Stunning car and beautiful photography. Some shots could easily find their way into a BMW brochure.

I love the wheels on your car (wish they were available in 2017) and find that shadow stripe along the body to look quite nice also. I have been checking to see if there is an subtle accent I can add to my car that brings out that slight "cove" indent line to the front of the rear wheels and along the door.

I did the same grille treatment as you, using 1/8" 3M tape. I find that be be subtle and quite pleasing to the eye.

Hope you have many years of driving enjoyment w/ you very cool M240i.

Thank you for your kind words! I'm with you on the subtlety, see many practically fluorescent stripes. Horses for courses I guess though.

Great car and great scenery! White is always a good choice.

Gorgeous looking, the black stripe decal across the body is a nice touch, background scenery pretty nice too
