I think you can get away with some striping on an z4m coupe; I think the above one is quite tasty.
or little more subtile:

But certainly not on a roadster.

Do it! Do the wing mirrors in gold too. And maybe the car could play some music when you open a door.

That's a NO from me

I think a few martini stripes would be very cool. But small subtle ones not massive great big ones like above.

I quite fancy some 2002 turbo stripes on mine.

Don't spoil a nice white paint-job. 'Racing stripes' on a cooking model are like stuffing a sock down your trousers on a night out..... it looks impressive but leads to embarrassing disappointment when the action starts

I could give a long explanation about using stripes to break or emphasise a surface and the texture BMW already provide with the crease lines in the panels - but the short answer is no

I've scribbled on scraps of paper all sorts of little stripes and dashes to make mine subtly different but nothing works yet. I do like the black wheel arch protector you've got matt

Thanks really simple to do too. I just love the look on old 70s-80s 911s so thought i would give it a go. A fair few z3s have them too.

I quite like the black coupe with the red stripes but would never do it to a car.

Think the stripes look good, just not sure i would put them on my own car as a permanent feature.

Yes! Stripes!......

Yes definitely, but only if it makes it faster.
