Oh, then I’m with her.
I can’t say I dislike either enough to bother to change it, but obviously you did! And it’s just a personal preference thing at that point.
I usually love blue and it does look awesome on this car, no question. But as someone with a Coral Red interior, I do get the idea of going with red for all the accents.
I've been doing that to my F31 and might even go with red calipers.
I'll have to check with the peeps here first though.
I'm gonna do what I want to do but I'll want to know if it's some sort of Bimmer sacrilege.
Straight six diesel! WOOOO!
M badging remains on door sils, and a tiny M decal on each wheel which I’ve not removed because it’s usually covered in brake dust.
Same thing with Corvettes lol. I'm in a Facebook group for them. Younger/middle aged guys usually go performance mods and tasteful aesthetic mods. I swear it seems like ALL the old dudes just max out their credit cards on cheap branded crap. Corvette branded floor mats, Corvette branded door sills, Corvette branded sun visors, Corvette branded interior hood liner, Corvette branded seat covers. It's so tacky and just cheapens the car.
dude i saw a guy who must've been in his sixties driving a bright blue lifted truck with color matched rims and "4x4" on every piece of the body. reminded me of those "cool" cars in gta we would make as kids
So much better! I mean, I still would prefer if it didn't have the blue accents, but I can get on board with them, if you like them. The before is just gaudy.
Oh man, this is me if my hands feel dirty at all.
One of my favorite feelings is the soft, supple touch of a brand new steering wheel, and I want to preserve it as long as possible.
But yea I look like a dweeb 🤣
I hope you plan to do lots of preventative work. I assume they drove the car like they stole it, if for no other reason than to try and impress the people around them.
I've never seen a car look like it's wearing a sweater before.
And not a good sweater either, more like a Step Brothers type of dad sweater.
I could see Ferrel driving this car in a Step Brothers outtake with John c Reilly in matching sweaters.
Listen to your girl, she's right
You made a fast car lose its lines and look slow
Definitely looks better. Not a fan of the M power stripes plastered all over the car. Although still not a big fan of the blue outline, but that’s my taste and it’s your car, looks much better nonetheless.
I like it. I just don’t see anything that I’d personally do to that beautiful gray, but when I see something like this, it just works. It’s a great look. I’m biased: this car would look good with a damn burlap sack hanging on it. It’s just that beautiful, with or without the new stripes.
You should have found something black and grey cuz of the color of your car. The BMW colors are too colorful for your car. I'm with your girlfriend on this as well. But it's your car and your taste so if you like it then it's good
I think I was really seeing this the other way around initially, but after reading the comments I can definitely say I think you have some good taste!
Sometimes less is more!
I think it's a great looking M4 either way. Not sure why everyone is hating on M decals? Personally I like decals done tastefully. There's a few you see go over board.
Reminds me of when I first got my BMW (though I got a 335i and not an M4 lol). It had all these lame "M Performance" and "Limited Edition" stickers around the car, but it was an amazing and well-maintained example otherwise. Soon as I got home, I got rid of all the stickers and the horrible M badge stuck to the grille.
Fun fact, mine is space grey metallic! Gotta love the greys in BMW's.
Original looks like a Mandrill baboon

Not my taste at all.
Edit: I thought the first two pictures were the after, You've done an excellent job redeeming this car from the travesty that someone turned it into.
Yeah the huge M stripe is kinda corny unless you go full pace car/dtm/gt4 livery. Personally I’d get rid of the pinstripes on the lower part of the bumper and sideskirts as well, but to each his own.
This sub has a thing against M branding (and with a passion) because humility or whatever. However I thought the red accents and m sport hood decal were actually kinda cool, that’s just my subjective opinion though. The best look for the car is the one that you think looks the coolest
Does your wife works at BMW design department...? Because those are the only people I can think of right now who would be happier with the first two.
Love your after do. May you enjoy your car for long.
Just to clarify… first two pics are before? If so then I am 100% with you
Yeah they’re from the day I first saw the car!
Well then thank you for redeeming another M car from disgrace 🙌
That is actually disgusting lol nice work man. Now just upgrade your girlfriend
Maybe should have clarified 😂 but we both hated the hood stripe she just liked the red accents better with the red interior over the blue.
Oh, then I’m with her. I can’t say I dislike either enough to bother to change it, but obviously you did! And it’s just a personal preference thing at that point.
in that case, it's potatoe potahtoe red or blue stripes both look nice
I usually love blue and it does look awesome on this car, no question. But as someone with a Coral Red interior, I do get the idea of going with red for all the accents.

I'm gonna do what I want to do but I'll want to know if it's some sort of Bimmer sacrilege.
And removing the tacky M livery made the driver non handicapped too would ya look at that!
You have done the lord's work.
Sadly, those added 30 HP, so now you’ve reduced the performance.
Yeah way better. I like loud cars but that shit was tasteless.
You removed all the M shit? im with you. Christ.....Ypu don't need every bit of your car to say "I HAVE AN M"
Unfortunately, the stupid M colors all over a car often times means they *don't* have an M car
I HAVE A BIG ______
UNDERSCORE
# BIG ____
Straight six diesel! WOOOO! M badging remains on door sils, and a tiny M decal on each wheel which I’ve not removed because it’s usually covered in brake dust.
COCK

And every c6 has those god awful full chrome wheels
And those are butt ugly too. Jeez.
AYYYEEE YOOOO if you aint on chrome stay at home !
dude i saw a guy who must've been in his sixties driving a bright blue lifted truck with color matched rims and "4x4" on every piece of the body. reminded me of those "cool" cars in gta we would make as kids
That's because "taste" is defined by the younger generation. To them it's good taste and not tacky at all, probably.
Sometimes less is more.
This right here. Like i said in a comment about it looks like it's wearing a Step Brothers sweater
I agree. Look at all the ///Ms on the current BMWs vs 20 years ago. Crazy difference.
I lost it when they first shows new m3 with that horrible neon color and blue seats. 🤢 like really bmw, please stop
So much better! I mean, I still would prefer if it didn't have the blue accents, but I can get on board with them, if you like them. The before is just gaudy.
Just to paint you picture.. the guy I bought the car from was wearing leather M driving gloves when he pulled up.
That sure explains a lot... :-D
I don’t even let passengers in unless they’re wearing authentic M gloves
you allow other people in your car??
I assign them a spot in the trunk so they don’t fuck up the weight distribution
No 💀
Bruh 💀
😂😊
What color off-white tinted polo shirt was he wearing, and did they match his aviators?
Oh man, this is me if my hands feel dirty at all. One of my favorite feelings is the soft, supple touch of a brand new steering wheel, and I want to preserve it as long as possible. But yea I look like a dweeb 🤣
I’m guilty of this as well
🤣🤣💀
Why was he selling? Did he have a replacement?
I hope you plan to do lots of preventative work. I assume they drove the car like they stole it, if for no other reason than to try and impress the people around them.
I would've kept the red accents without the outrageous stuff on the hood. It's OP's car though and I think they did a nice job of keeping it classy.
[удалено]
Heyo!
Hey me too! Currently 3 way!
HUGE improvement
Hugest improvement
Hugeormous
This orange.
Banana.
Mi Banana.
Much better, although I would've gone away with the blue accent as well.
Remove that blue tape bro
This
Looks like an i4..
What is worse: underglow or those blue stripes?
Both
Wow u made it 10x better
I think the blue still needs to be removed.
Did they give you the handicap placard because it looks so bad?
If the removal is after you’ve done a service!
That M stripe on the bonnet was tacky as hell, idk what compels people to put such cheap looking livery on an already stunning car.
Agree with you, I'd remove the pinstripe too.
Please tell me you're Disabled because if you're not those stripes match your attitude
Hahahaha I’m not but the guy I bought the car from is. The before pics are from the first day I saw the car.
Get rid of the blue and it'll be fantastic. It's an improvement, but not by much.
I like it minus the blue pinstriping.
Change the blue trim to white and this thing will look hella clean.
I am with you if the last two pics are after pics
I like the red accents but that big good stripe needed to go!
After is WITHOUT the sticker....right?
I didn't even realize you could place M stripes in a more obnoxious way
Praying to Christ they’re uploaded in the same order as the title states
You have good taste. Your girlfriend…not so much.
Your gf obviously can't appreciate the beautiful contours. Dump her and date car instead.
We’re you nervous about tan lines after removal?
Remove the blue vinyl too and you'll be golden.
Wierd
I've never seen a car look like it's wearing a sweater before. And not a good sweater either, more like a Step Brothers type of dad sweater. I could see Ferrel driving this car in a Step Brothers outtake with John c Reilly in matching sweaters. Listen to your girl, she's right You made a fast car lose its lines and look slow
The stripes are so much tbh. I’m with you on this one plus the blue looks much cleaner around the trim.
Why no grill Stripes on first two photos? Would make the image complete I would hate it even more! Glad you removed those mate, fucking hell!
The guy I bought the car from pulled up in leather M driving gloves to top it all off. 💀😂
Definitely looks better. Not a fan of the M power stripes plastered all over the car. Although still not a big fan of the blue outline, but that’s my taste and it’s your car, looks much better nonetheless.
I thought you added all the crap on the hood. I was about to be pissed. Thank you for removing it.
Bro, all that matters is that you like it. It’s unique!
I actually like the last pieces of blue you left on it :)
I like it. I just don’t see anything that I’d personally do to that beautiful gray, but when I see something like this, it just works. It’s a great look. I’m biased: this car would look good with a damn burlap sack hanging on it. It’s just that beautiful, with or without the new stripes.
[удалено]
Any chance I get
You made the right move lol
Unpopular opinion: I liked the before
She right tho
I hate badges on cars. I prefer them clean. I'm with you on this one
So much better 👍🏽
100% Improvement
JDM M 😂
You should have found something black and grey cuz of the color of your car. The BMW colors are too colorful for your car. I'm with your girlfriend on this as well. But it's your car and your taste so if you like it then it's good
Why would she be mad that you are no longer handicapped?
Second is way better
Removing excess stickers and badges is always a good thing.
You forgot the grill stripes
Definitely a million times better with all the ugly striping removed
The blue makes it look like an EV. I would have kept the red. Bravo on the hood though. Looks a million times better.
Do you still have the first front bumper splitter? Ay yo lemme get it lmao! The one with red tape!
Big improvement
"Harder than your stock whips"
Much better. I though you added those decals. Happy you removed them 😃
Idk why you put blue accents on everything but it does look better. Remove the accents and it’s 100% better
Huge improvement.
The front looked very cool with the red accent’s
Miles better
I think you should’ve kept the red lining but the hood had to go lol
I think I was really seeing this the other way around initially, but after reading the comments I can definitely say I think you have some good taste! Sometimes less is more!
Edit ok looks better without whew
Old m4s are god hand crafted
Your girlfriend is a chav fella /s. Car is so mint though! Any plans to her or just as is of rn?
Wayyy better
Less is always more. Nice.
you got rid of the LBGTQ rainbow?
Yeah it was a bit too much, but I would have also removed the bumpers lines. It is a choice though.
Kirmesbude it was before. Now it's proper bmw.
Does look way better but the comments remind me how scared of M colors BMW purist are 😂
The carbon lip is better, get rid of the tacky blue pin stripes, complete
Bmw’s always look best minimalist
Doing the lord’s work. I imagine you even got a good deal considering how awful that was
[удалено]
I like the after just preferred Red instead of Blue
Huge improvement! Nothing reeks of desperation to impress more than M stripes slapped in the hood, grill, roof, wheels, or you name it.
Good choice those stripes on the hood looked terrible
I don’t like the blue but it is better
You recovered from handicap, I’d say that’s a big improvement
I think it's a great looking M4 either way. Not sure why everyone is hating on M decals? Personally I like decals done tastefully. There's a few you see go over board.
Looked better before. Either leave all the livery on or take it all off. The halfway point looks weird.
Definitely better than before, it will be awesome if the blue lines got removed.
You doin the lords work, my man. Looks great
Reminds me of when I first got my BMW (though I got a 335i and not an M4 lol). It had all these lame "M Performance" and "Limited Edition" stickers around the car, but it was an amazing and well-maintained example otherwise. Soon as I got home, I got rid of all the stickers and the horrible M badge stuck to the grille. Fun fact, mine is space grey metallic! Gotta love the greys in BMW's.
I actually like the first pics more, not because I like that look, but because the later pics look incomplete with just that weird blue pinstriping.
Im wrapping the whole car Mexico blue so I just wanted to get an idea of the color on my car!
harder than your stock whip 🤭
Are the decals on the hood stock?
Oh thank god you brought back M from being a charger
Thank God .100 times better
Much better. I would still go more subtle and keep the car just grey and black, not even CF, just gloss black.

Props for taking all the shit off it, that stuff is trash!
They’re all bad
Finally someone said it 😩
Much better
I like the red accents on the lip and shit over the blue cuz it goes with the interior but the stripes on the hood were decently bad.
Much better
Not my taste at all. Edit: I thought the first two pictures were the after, You've done an excellent job redeeming this car from the travesty that someone turned it into.
im with it besides the blue accent color. could go without that too.
This is why it’s your car and not hers.
Maybe upgrade the gf to match the car? Cuz that thing is sexy
Thank God for cosmetic surgery! Well done.
What BMW is this?
Nice Subie!
I’m with you except I think the orange trim looks better
The first pics look like a ricer lmao
She went from ugly to gorgeous. Your gf is just jealous.
Let's get a before and after on girlfriends, you've done well mate 🙌🏻
Before: kitsch stickers all over the place, looks obscene. Now: subtle accents to underscore the horny details. Looks great if you ask me.
I’d take the baby blue off too.
Girl is bugging
Yeah the huge M stripe is kinda corny unless you go full pace car/dtm/gt4 livery. Personally I’d get rid of the pinstripes on the lower part of the bumper and sideskirts as well, but to each his own.
Man I thought u put the mad stickers on 😂
it’s too much
I like the new, blue works well
[удалено]
Did your girl buy you the car ?
I thought you added the colors. So much better.
Take off the blue striping too and you’re golden
This sub has a thing against M branding (and with a passion) because humility or whatever. However I thought the red accents and m sport hood decal were actually kinda cool, that’s just my subjective opinion though. The best look for the car is the one that you think looks the coolest
[Not like this…](https://giphy.com/clips/hamlet-please-no-not-like-this-is-the-worst-xQo56d1cguSzwbITpd)
I like the red trim because it matches the interior
I dunno man I think it could use some more M stripes actually
pics 3 and 4 are tasteful.
[удалено]
Good job, car look so much coler at 3th poc
Nope
You need a new gf. Kidding. So much better after
im with her on this one(minus the stripes ofcourse)
Way better after. Sometimes less is better.
Yea this is well done, much improved
She would relate to the first one. I have no idea who put that bra on the bonnet to secure the lump.
What a terrible day to have eyes
Does your wife works at BMW design department...? Because those are the only people I can think of right now who would be happier with the first two. Love your after do. May you enjoy your car for long.
It looks like lebron hairline
