My new M240i MG

I finally pulled the trigger on an '18 M240i! I was dead set on getting an Infiniti Q60 for over a year, changed my mind and was set on a TT-S for a few months, and then at the last moment I stumbled into the M235/M240. So once I test drove the M240, I was instantly sold and now here I am.

Here are some pictures at the time of purchase. Since then I now have 15% tint all around and 80% on the windshield. The mod bug bit early and my 12mm wheel spacers were just delivered today! Also, I ordered a carbon fiber rear spoiler and carbon M-style mirrors.

It's aftermarket but essentially a replica of the OEM M Performance one. I think it may be slightly different with the corners coming to more of a point. It's from autoid.uk.com.

Hey man that carbon fiber looks great! So do the black emblems! What kind of mirror caps are those and do you get any wind noise?

I used Duplicolor rubberized spray paint (same thing as plastidip). I couldn't justify spending so much on the painted emblems, and I'm happy with the results.

Appreciate it! I felt it was missing something in stock form, and now I'm satisfied with the look (for now).

No wind noise at all - can't notice any difference. The mirror caps are from autoid.uk.com. TRE M-Inspired Wing mirrors.

Looks awesome, my favorite M240 color, hoping to pick myself up a 2017 Glacier Silver this week, might use your mod ideas.

Update: I've noticed some wind noise on the highway around 70-80 mph. It's not overbearing though and is about the same degree as the tire noise (Michelin PSS). I don't notice it when music is on, and I'd definitely take the looks over the noise.
