BMW Performance stripes measurements

does anyone know what is the measurements of the stripes and space between them... i want to make my own stripes as stealer wants over $200.

thanks

Hah $200 ain't bad for quality work. You'll have a hard time cutting vinyl that straight without some large cutting tools. If you really want the sizes just use the roundel to measure them with the image. Figure it out.

Are you making them for an F30 or for your E46? We have a bunch of high resolution pictures of the F30 BMW M Performance Parts 3 Series on F30Driver.com here -

There are a few close ups that should help you get the spacing and size.

I like those performance stripes. I think they only work well with a white/black or black/white combo really...I can't think of any other colors it would look nice on.

Maybe red/black or black/red depending on the color of the car.

Count the spaces on the grill they r align

This man's a genious.

Anyway those width stripes won't look good on the E46. You'll need to create your own widths so it lines with the grille like those do.

they are going on my touring.... i wanted to stick with oem specs but its true the kidney sizes are different so i have to make my own.

and i think the strips will look good my my SGM touring since i got black rims, im going with flat black stripes.

The performance stripes remind me of what Ryan did with her car:

I think they will look cool if you get the proportions right and get them perfectly straight. Post pics here when you're done.

Unless your driving a '60 muscle car, skip the gaudy stripes. It's poseur, but if you do get it, be sure to pick up a fake Rolex, glue some fake diamonds to your front teeth, and maybe some fake gold chains to finish off your ensemble. Now were talkin'; you'll be high steppin' just like your ride. Oh yeah, practice your dap or your lean so you get it right before you head out into public, you wouldn't want to misrepresent and look poseur.

I like it
Another guy did it with plasti dip. I liked it. Not a lot of other people did n

Or don't do all this and put the stripes you like on your car and be the otherwise normal dude who liked racing stripes so he put them on his car. Haters hate, meh. Life's too short to worry what other people think. If it makes you happy do it...

I'd mess with pics in ms paint or photoshop.. Once you get idea of width you like use paper to mock it up on your car, when arrived at desired look shift to adhesive stripe material...

OP, I have to say, without 'hate' that I think it's a goofy look...and honestly, not just because 325, and not just because Touring, but because it's a BMW.

If it was the safety car at a race, then I wouldn't think anything of it, but if I saw it on the road, I'd think 'oh no.' That said, I'm old, conservative, and since I'm not a huge guy, I'd never say it to your face! Also, I bet that many here would think the same and have said so in many other threads...though here they might not since the owner of the list chimed in and they'd be afraid of a ban if they wrote the wrong thing.

We often don't answer questions here, though here you got some answers already, so I hope you don't mind my not answering your question but telling you what I think anyway.

If you want to know how others might take your stripes, start a new thread with a poll...yea or nay...maybe a photoshop of your car with stripes.
