why do people get m sport just to switch it out?

Lexi · 06-14-2010, 11:24 PM

Some people spend a lot to put on the M-sport as an option, but some people switch out the bumper, suspension, and the wheels soon after.

What's the point of getting it in the first place?

You have to realize there are people out there with terrible, terrible tastes.

i love the way mine looks, just want to get some coilovers, i think the suspension is too soft... especially after driving an e46 with kw v2's for 4 years i fall asleep driving right now. but that will all change next month hopefully.

hey its better for us who dont have it

that way the ppl who have proper acquired taste can pick up M pkg goodies for less

msport suspension is the same as a reg sport

wheels.. hmm, aftermarket makes you stand out more

I personally like the aero rear over the mtech rear anyways :P

Haven't seen anyone w/ M-sport switch out the bumpers.

Me either. 90% of people leave it and only add wheels and springs. There aren't too many things out there that look better than M-Sport, anyway. It'd be foolish to downgrade.

The wheels have got to go, though. I never liked the 193's.

335BBS · 06-15-2010, 08:09 AM

Your own wheels make it. Something different like OZ or BBS. I've never heard of anyone swapping out their M sport. Doesnt make sense. Thread starter...........

+1

I like original paint from factory and the look (minus the wheels).

fdriller9 · 06-15-2010, 08:34 AM

I haven't seen many do this. If you know someone who's selling their mtech rear let me know!!!

Yay-Z · 06-15-2010, 09:52 AM

Never heard of this as well. But those wheels are wack to me, gonna change mine as soon as I get the vehicle

phistyle · 06-15-2010, 10:16 AM

same here...I haven't seen any of these so-called people that switches their m-sport bumper for something else.....

Verbiage · 06-15-2010, 10:27 AM

He's probably thrown off by a lot of the aftermarket mods people add on to their cars along with the M-Sport kit so it kind of just blends in with everything else.

e90ben · 06-15-2010, 01:05 PM

Maybe the factor in Resale. Having more options gives be a better resale value
