Love the clever white calipers as well.

Updated performance table with new DR + Race gas 1/4 mile time.

I love the fact that you kept the rims and wheels OEM but played with color contrast. The subtlety of your ride is what makes it so hot.... it doesn't scream aftermarket IMO.

Thanks so much man, great feedback. I have been thinking about peeling away the lens film off of my rear lighting to make it more OEM. I am the least satisfied about these additions to the car.

this is honestly the first time i see black wheels on an AW and actually like them. looks real good on these 261m's congrats.

Great job on the cosmetics / performance modifications. If i do get AW 135i, it will look very similar to yours, except i will get my brakes done in "yellow"

.

This car is beautiful.
Im thinking about painting my car AW. My car is BSM right now.
Love the performance sideskirts and spoiler. I want to put those on my whip.

Great job on the additions to the car bro.
