Option #1: Black and White

Option #2: CF

I think these would look great after I get the CF splitters and diffuser I want..

Option #3: Black Out

Haven't seen these around much, but there could be a good reason for that...

Just so you guys have an idea, here are the upcoming mods... (eventually)

20% Tint
CF Splitters
CF Diffuser
BMW Performance Gloss Black Grills
OEM M3 Mirrors
CF CSL Trunk

oem ftw imho. something about swapped out roundels just seems too riced for my taste. but if you were gonna go down this road anyways, a little more carbon wont hurt anyone ;)

Lol I'm sure alot of people will agree with you, but I like them personally. Hehe I didn't even leave OEM as an option ;)

I'm another vote for OEM. But if you are set against it, then go CF because of the plans you have. My reason for keeping OEM is that, off the factory floor, it something that all BMWs have in common.

I have a lot of the same plans as you when it comes to carbon fiber. Have you considered wrapping the M3 mirrors in carbon fiber? I think I am going to end up there eventually.

Yeah I have actually. I didn't mention it earlier but I also want to wrap my roof and mirrors in CF as well. I even thought about going as far as CF pillars but I'm not sure about those yet.

i changed mine to Black and white i think it looks SEXY!!! way better than the OEM blue and white.. (imola red car) but i think you should go with CF not because your going all CF but because the Black and white would look too dull on your Black car.. and all black would look ugly. Go CF you'll never look back its SHINES! =] stands out but blends in the car at the same time..

[johnrando]

Tough call... I've gone back and forth on this many times, and always gone back to OEM (partly because my blue plates help the blue roundels). I saw a black and white on a black M3 that I really liked. I might lean CF though.

I have the CF black with silver gray car. Here is a pic. I like it. I almost stayed OEM, but had to replace the hood roundel anyway, so i tried the CF. Now hood trunk and wheel are cf, and I like it.

I'm a big fan of the cf roundels if you're going with a cf theme.

I love mine. Check out my project thread for pics http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?999-Jersey-Graphite-a-novella-by-Kayger12

Where's the blue/white option? Don't forsake the great roundel!

[adb1028]

I went with CF to go along with my Silver/Gunmetal theme. Looks awesome.

you sir, have just blown my mind.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I have chosen to stick with OEM blue and white on my car. If I was going to change, though, it would be carbon fiber.

[kayger12]

I love the OEM blue/white. If I had any other color than SGM with the CF accents, I would have stayed with it. I still miss that blue sometimes...

Yup....something about the blue that brings a smile to my face.

Droid + Tapatalk = FTW!

[lilcdkey]

Thanks guys, I'm going with carbon fiber. Also do you guys think I should get overlays or the full roundel

[kayger12]

I would go full roundel.

I thought about the overlays, but if it was off even a hair it would bug the crap out of me.

The cf roundels from Khoa are great.

[danewilson77]

Not to argue....but I love the overlays. Allows accessorizing...when the itch is on you.....and leaves you your original blue. Overlays would work on the CF ones as well....

FYI...the overlays are easy to get perfect.

[zhpnsnv]

I vote oem.

[lilcdkey]

I would go full roundel


I love the overlays

:facepalm

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Anyone need me to break the tie? :biggrin

[pleasecorrupt]

overlay! you can either make it a tie again or side with me and dane :) overlay = easy removal

[johnrando]

I'm gonna vote full roundel. If you want to change them, just put in a different full roundel. Not cheap, but possible, and no overlay worries (if there are any).

[lilcdkey]

Lol what do you think Boss?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I'd go with full roundel replacement. I've had overlays. I can tell that they're stickers when I look at them. My stage 5 anality makes that a deal breaker.

Sounds good, I'll order them from Khoa soon. Ordered my BMW performance gloss black grills today :)

I've been considering this as well. So the khoalty are the full roundel right ($12 seems cheap)? Does anyone know if it has a clear coat on it? It wasn't listed on the site.

Seem expensive to me! Because you have to get the roundel for the hood, trunk, wheel caps, steering wheel

[kayger12]

Good question. I can tell you that it has the same appearance finish-wise as the oem roundels.

They really are good looking roundels.

It definitely adds up, but $12 is the best price I've found for good roundels.

Yeah, most other places I've seen charge $15 a piece.

Another reason to stay oem lol..
