A bit of an acquired taste :|

I had them on a 318i and thought they looked pretty 8-)
Don't think they work on a Z3 though. :|

Dont do it. IMHO there are tasty ways to make a zed look good and there are tacky ways and this is one of them tacky ones. I cant remember any zed i have seen either on here or out and about with them, so hundreds of zedders cant be wrong. But it is your car and you have to go with what you are happy with.

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

Looks like it's got some Hamann stuff on that, or very similar anyway... Front bumper, spoiler & sills or cheapy lookey likeys?

I'm sure someone who knows what they are actually talking about will be along in a minute :D

Hi
I've got original Hamann ones fitted to mine and I really like them. They are no longer available from Hamann but you can get copies on Ebay.

Each to their own I say; its your car and if you like them then that's all that matters really.

You might not like silver/green cars, hardtops, pre facelift/post facelift Z3's, any of the Z4's, red leather, chrome gills, ac schnitzer parts/hamann parts, 1.9 engines, cabbage, real ale, Gangster Rap...etc

Everyone's taste and preference is different. It would be a boring world if we were all the same and a poor forum if all our cars were the same.

As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

The black car does have Hamann parts fitted to it and there is a few £'s worth on the car. Its also got a nice interior in my opinion and M mirrors fitted. Someone most likely has spent a lot of money on that car. It seems like a good price for the spec, mileage and engine etc.

Regards
Orinoco

I agree, not a spoiler or side flipper in sight. :thumb:

like you say each to their own, personally I think it looks,.... :bad but not because of the eyebrows,
I just think the spoilers look like aftermarket afterthoughts, and I don't feel they fit with the flow of the cars lines, .....
whereas NickDale's front flippers and eybrows do, much more subtly

Less is more :D
