WOW!!
Fins missing? Ummmm no. Freedom of choice my friend. I am sure that Adrian Newey or Patrick Head would love to hear your theories on the performance enhancement that a few ill placed swellings make to a lateral "g" on your vehicle lol. In truth, fins amount to a pseudo Motorsport look, not a function. I liked the standard rear end, but didn't like the grey plastic against the black, so a carbon valance in stock appearance suited....my choice.
Single tail pipe?? It's a 123D. I know this is an odd concept for you to reconcile, but it's how BMW a.g deemed it to look. That said, I am looking at a new trim (not full system as many have tried but failed to improve on the over engineered standard item) but hey, I never said it was the finished item??
Wheel centres?? That'll be the carbon black and silvers that are on order......as opposed to the manufacturer's ones in the picture?? Don't ever recall people being flamed for having their BBS or HRE centres in place......but thank you for your feed back lol.
Xenons?? Über cool.....but so what?? By choice, yup, I'd have them, even though I do about 5% of my driving in the dark. But again, I don't really see your point.
Consistency?? Yeah, ok fella, whatever.
