Do those rear fender stone guards help? I was thinking about getting a set to use just for road trips. They attach magnetically, right?

thanks everybody!!!

ha i like the M badge ha

uhmm the tint.. not sure... its super dark i had to take if off the front to see.

i also had to take it off the back..

its probably around 5%

i got a ticket, and when the police put the reader on there it read 1%.. so i figure its not to accurate.

but yeah, you could have your face against the glass during the day and not see the steering wheel.

thanks!!!!

You really should get rid of them. Trust me, as someone who has a M car, it looks totally ridiculous, and anyone with an M is just going to laugh at you.

Your MINI deserves better than to be a poseur. Only the Honda Civic ricers will be impressed.

They don't and won't, but there is the JCW. It's sorta the MINI counterpart to BMW's M.

I'm referring to cars in production (and that might can be homologated for racing).

okay true. but the JCW has no comparison to an M series. my friend has an 04 JCW and my other friend has an e30 with group end suspension... the sex.

I agree...my JCW will not compare to my M3. But I do see the JCW to the MCS positioned similarly as the M3 to the 3 series.

thanks for the advise...

anyway, the way i see it, let people have fun with their cars. if you feel a certain way about somthing.. thats totally fine, and normal. but i dont think we should borderline be, offending, calling someoby a poseur. Just my thoughts. its all in good fun.

motor on

I hope to have an M3 one of these days. I have always been a fan of the laguna seca blue (sorry if i butchered the spelling) beautiful cars!

I love the black and white front plate in combination with the checkered mirrors/roof. Your house looks to be beautiful as well.

OK. I don't mean any personal offense -- just trying to convince you the M badge takes way from your car. Each to their own I. I think your car is very nice otherwise -- if I didn't I wouldn't have commented.

If you get an M3 you'll love it. Laguna Seca Blue is correct. Colors named after race tracks are generally special to M cars and not used on regular bimmers. I'm planning to get another M3 in about 4-5 years: a white/red E92 M3 with DCT.
