Thanks man, that's what I was going for! It's nice to see someone else shares my taste and sense of style in terms of what I did to my ride!

I go to the Bimmer Burger Nights, but have yet to see another 1er. Hopefully that will change this summer.

Paint the wheels the same silver that is on your mirrors! Maybe do the kidney grill outlines the same silver as well, with black inserts?

I think it looks awesome... Anyway, i'm in Denver. I'd be down to swing by a bimmer meet, just not sure if I want to go to Sonic though, it reminds me of high school and civics.

from a distance the wheels and mirrors look pretty close to the same color. I have considered painting the grills silver to match the mirrors, but they are kind of pain to remove!

LOL...you think so? I don't want everything on the car to be too matchy, so maybe I won't change anything...

As Long as the Set-up Works (No rubb dub dub issues), I love the look. Stripe looks spot on as well.
Diggin it!

Thanks man, glad you like it! I've had some minor rubbing in the front a couple of times when I've hit some major dips, but that's it so far (knock on wood). I probably should've gone with a 215 tire in front and I probably wouldn't have had any rubbing issues.
