They are. I might go a bit lighter though. When they’re on they look good but when they’re off they’re just a touch dark for my taste.

Did you do them yourself? If so lights out or in situe? Thinking of doing mine, actually like the shade of yours

Thanks! My wife loves it too so I might end up just keeping them as is LOL. I had them done by a shop. $100 for both and they did them on the car. I might have attempted it myself but they were already tinting my windshield and wrapping the roof so I just had them do those also. All 3 projects took about 4 hours total for them.

MARKPRIOR · 10-02-2018, 01:14 PM

ok so this is my next small project

cheers for the info

Exactly, by nice, I mean cooler... The CF pieces fit pretty well. Used a little betalink on the top side and ran three screws through the bottom. Seems very strong.

Installed rear spoiler and mirror caps in carbon. I have to find a way how to resize my pics.

Could you post a pic from the rear, lights off in daylight? Also, do you know what % tint they did on them?? Have been considering doing mine as well..

Love the discussion about smoking the taillights! I visited a local shop that does them - currently set for the 16th to smoke the taillights, back and side reflectors and the headlights and fog lights. They are also going to wrap the door handles if I don't do them first.

My biggest question on the headlights is what is the the darkest your can go before losing too much light. I've got a F06 MSport.

The pricing is pretty good / headlights and taillights are $40 each, and the reflectors and fog lights will be $15 each. I think the doorl handles will be $10 each.

tried to tint my rear lights today

failed miserably, the tint was very poor quality and the tint also cam damaged

getting halfway through i could see the dimples in the film when applied so threw the lot away

Great one Havy.

Is the rear spoiler original from BMW or where did you get it?
I also like those wheels! Are they M668 Styling from latest G30 M550 model?

Hi F06WINS
yes it is the OEM performance Spoiler #51622405506. The wheels are also OEM M433. I find them one /or even “the” most beautiful wheel for M6.

FBMWWINS · 10-14-2018, 12:37 PM

Thanks for the info Havy.
Yes I agree and I am considering them too for my 650i but they deviate quite a lot from my stock ones as far as the ET is concerned. The M668 on the other hand look similar and might fit without any modifications.

That looks awsome.

FBMWWINS · 10-15-2018, 04:29 AM

DerBosewicht it must feel SUPER grippy when driving with that I'd guess it feels like eating the road! At least my original M Performance Pro steering wheel felt that way when I mounted it on my F32. Then I wanted heated steering wheel so switched to an M4 one.

hopefully we will find out in a few hours!! that was my only gripe that I had to give up my heated wheel with the flat bottom, but it fi gets super cold here in Texas..i can swap it back in about 15 min.

Looks awesome. Can you give details on this?

Thanks

Just had M6 rear diffuser (painted body color), carbon fiber center trim, and M6 Comp Package mufflers installed. So happy with the end result. May decide to get bigger tips like BMS Billet 3.75" Not sure whether to keep them black or go with silver.
