 I just dont understand why people who have it perfect,want to make it worse,just for the sake of being different!Personally ,I like mods to be near oem as possible and if not at least they should be "oem/original looking",if you know what I mean I obviously respect those who mod their cars ,anyway they want,since we all have different tastes,of course.

Thanks all.
 To answer questions... Not sure how I feel about the roof rail delete either...after looking at it for a while I think it looks a bit naked up there, too clean...I think what I really want to do is carry on the gloss Jet Black theme...do the roof, roof rack, and rear top spoiler black. Also will be interesting to see the OEM running boards on there too, I think they really help the car look higher quality and add something. The iPod dock is basically a Spec Dock with DICE. You can order these from BMW Audio, BMW iPod, Speakers, Subwoofers, & more | BSW: Bavarian Soundwerks and spec.dock - complete iPod and iPhone vehicle integration Here's a couple detail shots of the iPod dock, with ashtray lid open and closed. I made a little brushed/polished aluminum push trim for the lid. Also here is a photo with the roof rails on and regular roundel center caps. The pedals are from ULTIMATE PEDALS and the entire set with heal guard was around $225 if I remember correctly.

I think it look better with the roof rails on, without the roof rails your car look more like a station wagon....

This is the most recent pic of the interior. I am a mod freak lol and never afraid to try something custom...most mods are easily reversible...however it got me into trouble though when I tried something with the A/C control unit. I thought it would be cool to do a silver trim around the temp readout, etc...it did not come out well at first try, a mistake happened when removing the silver paint and very long story short I ended up screwing it up and had to repaint the whole entire A/C controls button logos and everything lol. Needless to say a crazy project I did not want to get into, but luckily I saved it from being ruined and this is what it looks like.
I ended up doing a satin gunmetal metallic on the shifter trim, A/C controls trim, and navigation screen trim.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I'm gonna put the roof rails back on in gloss jet black, and probably go ahead and do the hood vents like the kidneys, and get running boards.

Wow, the AC control panel almost looks comical with the hand painted icons! Not a bad job though, much better than what I could have done.
IMO it will look better if you can match the trim more closely, but that is hard to do with paint/plastic sometimes. And I can't wait to see the gloss black roof project, here's some inspiration from a very custom paint job that came out great. http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...lack-roof.html
