Agreed. I've always had a fondness for a nicely shaped headlights and a nice curve of an aero kit.

Aero kits do look nice. To be honest, I'm not much of a fan of the narrowbodies however. There are exceptions to to every rule, though.



Also, I know a lot of people prefer the OEM look, but I don't mind a heavily modified one either if it's done tastefully.

I have to say I like a well sorted kit.

I do have to say that the slant nose 930 is one of my all-time favorites though.

Agreed. Something about them just says "drive me hard".

I have to admit that I often have a hard time deciding what to drive in the morning... the classic curves of my 911, or the more aggressive styling of my M, which really loves to be driven hard.

I had an //M Roadster awhile back. Lots of fun to drive, but I found it impractical for long term ownership.

^^^ Not a fan of the Hurdigurdiman treatment in the back. I prefer mine clean and freshly waxed.

Agreed, but they're a lot of fun and have beautiful curves.

Mine is an E90 M3

There's nothing worse than a leaking rear main seal, let me tell you. What a mess!

Yeah, but if you focus on the positives, the minor annoyances go away.
