Updated Pics of My Twilight Purple M340

purpl3ish · 03-25-2021, 04:13 PM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

So after my initial photoshoot I posted on here with some basic exterior mods, I hadn't posted a new photoshoot on here with some new updates to the car, so I just wanted to share some pictures that were taken a few weeks ago..didn't want to post all of the pictures at once so just posting a few. Currently waiting to install the OLED taillights and hopefully some wheels in the summer..

New additions include:

AWE Touring Exhaust
H & R Springs
Carbon fiber wrapped mirror caps
OEM M Performance carbon fiber diffuser
Painted headlights with demon eyes by ONEighty
OEM M Performance decals

Pictures were taken by 3 different photographers(IG handles), please hit them up if any of you guys are in the tri-state looking for photoshoots:

Awesome car. I really love the purple. While no comparison whatsoever, my first car in high school was a 1995 Pontiac Grand Am coupe in purple. It's unfortunate that every car on dealer lots is now white, black or some shade of gray. I wish they had more vehicles in actual colors!

Great photos! Thanks for sharing with us!

AlexM666 · 03-25-2021, 05:15 PM

amazing car. Enjoy :-)

RockPortg20 · 03-25-2021, 08:39 PM

Great looking car, love the purple.

purpl3ish · 03-26-2021, 10:48 AM

thanks guys! i've loved this color from the second i took delivery..it's going to be hard to figure out what's next

inire · 03-26-2021, 12:57 PM

Even though I can't imagine it for myself, I have to say that it is a very unique car, congrats and enjoy it!
May I ask you how much the headlights painting cost?

Graaf_Autowerks · 03-26-2021, 01:11 PM

Great example of standing out without trying too hard or becoming tacky. Very clean and unique.

I've always dreamed about having headlights done by ONEighty. I would in a heartbeat if I owned the car and wasn't leasing.

Also curious about cost as other asked above? I remember looking at the Q50 modified headlights and I believe it was around $3-4k?

Thank you for the great input guys! So for the headlight painting and demon eyes, I believe it was around $1500-$2k TOPS(it was hard to say because I got so much stuff done at once), to do the paint alone would be even cheaper because I did demon eyes as well.

I also leased this car too, but I've modded my headlights a lot on previous leases, and I'll usually swap someone for their stocks + cash a few months before lease end, haven't had problems doing it in the past. I actually really want to see someone get the non-laser lights painted, as there's a lot more room for colored accents and painting areas than the lasers.

She's so sexy.

Holy moly that is awesome. The shadow line really looks good here

OM3RTA · 04-08-2021, 10:01 AM

Awesome colour, love it!

cfm56d7b · 04-20-2021, 09:46 AM

Phenomenal vehicle!

Did you use a helicopter to lower the car in the photo with the gravel road? The very idea of driving the vehicle on that road sends shivers ...

ByeFelicia · 04-20-2021, 10:03 AM

Very nice, what the M3 coulda been

chicagofan00 · 04-20-2021, 10:11 AM

Looks great! Always happy to see more photos of Twilight Purple pop up. I just got my request for Twilight Purple approved for my G80 order, however, I've got a long way to go before it is delivered so these photos definitely help with the wait.

Jason60051 · 04-20-2021, 10:23 AM

Wow!! Gorgeous

First time in decades the new 3 series looks better than the new M3. Hands down.

What a breath of fresh air within all the G80 front page stuff. Looks amazing

low135 · 04-20-2021, 11:08 AM

BMW should be embarrassed at how much better the G20 looks than the G80. Love it
