My Ride: 2002 330CIC with Sports and Premium (Sold 4/2005) 2005 545I Black Saphire Metalic, with Black Dakota Leather, Poplar trim. Sport Package, MTech Body kit and Spoiler, HUD, Comfort Seats, Navigation, Premium sound, CWP, Heated Rear Seats, Window shades. Valentine 1 hardwired, Aux input.

Will my Mkit come with the red reflectors. I want to make the change, but will just wait to receive my mkit if they come standard with it. I ordered it about 10 days ago, so it should be here soon.

Are you talking about the red reflectors in the rear bumper?.......If so then the M-kit will not come with them because the M kit's rear bumper does not have a place to mount the reflectors. I had the reflectors on my original bumper but now that I have the M kit I have no reflectors (see pic below). You lose the reflectors but it's a small price to pay IMO.

Thanks for the info. I have a BSM car, and love the way the reflectors look. I may leave the rear bumper off. Can you show me a before after side view.

Maybe the pics don't show it well but the M rear is SO MUCH more aggressive than the original. Personally I would never even consider installing the M front and sides without the M rear. I don't think that the original rear matches the look and presense of the M front and sides..........but to each his own.

I say the new rage will be the body-colored inserts. Not only do they indicate a newer car (which historically has been the cause for many a modification - just look at the '63 split window Corvette), I think they look great.

This is my car:

Your car looks amazing !

But I do think the color on the M-kit matches your car. I can see, even on those pictures, that the M-kit is painted afterwards, it dosen't match the cars color 100%..

Or am I wrong??
