I really like the front kidney grilles with the AW surround. Could you let me know if you purchased it this way or just had a BMW performance black kidney grill painted around the edges? Thanks.

Yusuf, GGI Tuning is the exclusive distributor and the price on the full kit (front, rear and sides) is around $3k+.

James, great eye as those are the areas that I think needs some work.

I bought a used OEM grill and had the outer chrome rings painted white.

Wheels are SWEEEETTTT!!!!

I have to agree though. The fitment of the body kit in some areas isn't great. Maybe it's the camera angle and more pronounced due to the car color?

Unfortunately, I have to agree with King. I don't mind the wheels, but the bodykit gaps are a mess, front and rear. It is also just a little too much for my tastes, personally.

Looks nice.

If no one else pointed out the gaps, I wouldn't have noticed at first glance. Now it's over for me. All I see is those gaps. Otherwise, looks wicked!

There are uneven gaps just about everywhere. Was this kit installed professionally? It could be either a poorly made kit or poorly installed. Not sure if it's fiberglass but it clearly looks like it was bolted on and the paint finish does not match the vehicle color. When you paint metal and plastic the same color they don't look the same. One little ding in the parking lot and that bumper will crack!

On the positive side, absolutely love those wheels! And some nice photography...

How much did you end up paying for the full kit? I am looking myself to do it on my e70.

BTW It looks AWESOME !!!!!!

Paint your whip black and you will not see any gaps!

Whip? Yeah, let's spend $20k on paint to hide gaps on a $3k bodykit. Black is a love/hate color as well.
