G22 Coupe and G26 Gran Coupe bumper swaps

I have a G26 and a friend has a G22. I think the rear bumper on the Gran Coupe is horrible and want a coupe one. He thinks the grilles on the G26 look better than G22. Plus the G22 is painted under the grille and it has a grin that just makes everything too busy. G26 is blacked out under the grille.

Would we be wasting our time trying this? Does anyone have info on mounting points? Vehicle widths are the exact same. Has anyone tried this? We wouldn’t keep them that way as then I’d be stuck with a G22 front and him with the G26 rear lol. Just to know so we don’t end up buying them just to see they don’t fit

Requesting a “discontinued” Individual color

Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to order a car with an Individual color that isn’t available anymore (Atlantis Blue). I understand it is not available even on the Inidividual Configurator anymore, but can I put in a special request? Or would I have to find, for example, a similar Porsche color currently in production and have them use that?

It’s funny to read super old forum posts (I myself have an N26 lol)

Need help with F30 M Sport rear bumper conversion

The OEM rear diffuser (first pic) is not black but actually painted a color called “Dark Shadow Metallic”.

I don’t know I should go the extra mile and paint it or not. I hate the unfinished plastic look (second pic) but it’s just more money to get it done properly. Am I being @utistic lol? Especially when my car has shadowline so the black would look ok.

Thinking of painting M440 grille frame

NOT my car in the pics, I found a random pic while at work and used AI to visualize it. It looks a lot more like the M4. The original design doesn’t even look like a BMW to me. Just a black blob. What do you guys think?

Viability of turning 2025 Outback into Legacy Wagon?

I am big into German cars and wagons. I’ve been looking at A4 Allroads but the Outbacks are cheaper. I don’t like all the cladding though.

It should be possible to swap out the front bumper cover for a Legacy one and then remove all the plastic, correct? The only thing that worries me is rear door skin. I think this car would look insanely clean with normal bodywork and a normal ground clearance.

Maybe will go pre facelift as it looks nicer to me but it’s too late to edit title

Is RWD just a handicap for these cars?

My first car was an E92 328i xDrive that I did xDelete on. I drove a friend’s factory RWD E9x back then and there was a huge difference in favor of the factory RWD in terms of feedback, ratio quickness, etc. that always made me want a true RWD.

Right now I have an F30 328 xDrive and it’s time to upgrade. I’ve been thinking about committing to a RWD M340 but I feel like it’s just gonna ruin the car. Maybe if it was a 230i I’d get it in RWD but I feel like the B58 has too much capability? I also read that (at least for the G8x, idk about G2x) the xDrive now has the faster rack.

I do want to do monoballs eventually which is why I feel like RWD might still be viable. But is there even a feedback difference anymore with this super numb current EPS, between xDrive and RWD?

I’m not planning on doing xDelete again with the new one

Why does the 3 not have ventilated seats but the 4 Gran Coupe does? Two 4 doors on the same platform with the same parts?

If we were comparing the 3 and the 4 coupe I’d understand if there were differences.

But the 4 GC is a 4 door and it does not have the pull down seat feature of the coupe. What is the point of locking this away from the 3? The 3 and 4 GC share the exact same seats! There’s absolutely no reason not to offer it!

This is craziness from a luxury company in the latter end of the 2020s

What’s this weird square on every 2027 model?

And can i get a grille that just covers it? It looks ugly as fuck. Now that i can actually afford this car this happens lol. I remember being on the configurator for the previous model year and this was NOT a thing. Adding the Driver Assistance Professional gets rid of it for the more advanced radar thing that looks better.

In memoriam of my favorite Individual color. RIP Atlantis Blue

Not my car; I’m just someone that is sad that now that they can afford one, they have to settle for something else.

Why were these colors discontinued (Snapper Rocks as well, for example)? Mercedes and Jeep still offer something similar on their mainstream models, yet BMW can’t even keep this as a custom-order option?

Is Maldives Blue the closest color to this that is currently available?
