I've just picked up some titanium plated smg gear knob gaiter ring sat nav buttons and handbrake from storm motorwerks I looking at replacing the brushed aluminium trim in the M3, has anyone dipped or painted their existing trim with good results?
Also had a look at the eventuri air intake kit anyone here got any advice or experience with the kit? I know it's not as balls out as the evolve or karbonious but seems to give a nice not over the top sound.

Yes, I have. Got it done by Lovett on m3 cutters. I’m very happy with it. It’s a better job than I’ve seen others do. I’m sure I have some pics somewhereQuote:

Thanks John, it's looks a fantastic finish if done right. I think it would look be a nice contrast against the red leatherQuote:

I had an Eventuri kit on my car when they came out a few years ago. It did give a nice induction noise alright. It wasn't very loud, but it was loud enough that when I removed it I really noticed the exhaust note again.
I didn't really give any performance gains, none that I could feel anyway.
I sold it after a year as I felt the money could be put to better use. I bought mine second hand though and got all my money back on it so that's a good option if you just want to try it out.
That exactly what I am after John looks very well.Quote:

That was a slight concern alright was wondering would it easily scratch around the gear knob bezel etc that would be head wrecking having a fine gloss finish scratches would stand out like a sore thumb.Quote:

No, the original piano black trim in MrsH’s f31 was much more delicate.Quote:
