Just curious and wanted everyone's opinion. But will the Side Fender Vent look good on a zhp?

This is one of those ones where people are going to have strong opinions, but at the end of the day you do what makes you happy.
For me, M badges on the trunk and side vents are things that only belong on an ///M
I would't do it personally, but that's just me.
If you like it and it works for you, go for it.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. But my friend was offering it to me and I wasn't sure if i should have the M badge on my car.

Is it a faux pas in the general BMW community? Yes.
If it was something I really liked, would I care what other people thought? No.

it will look good for sure, which is why they put it on the M3. but I agree, the BMW crowd will throw internet tomatoes at you for certain.

OP, keep in mind that if you go with the m3 fenders you will need to either modify the fenders or get prefacelift headlights

I am not one to do this to my car.
I think if you like it then go for it.

No, with that said if I were to do this I would delete the fender grills for a more clean non-M look. My opinion on this is that there are some things that should remain exclusive to the ///M. Like Keith said, in the end it's your ride but if you start slapping fender grills and an ///M3 badge, just be ready to get some flack from others. For some, even slapping on OEM M3 side mirrors and oval rear view mirrors will open a person to some flack.....
Do what makes you happy...
Personally, there are some things found on the ///M that I think look good on the 3-series......side mirrors, oval rear view mirror, M3 powerdome on the hood....
