Don't think black hides the details too much, a lot less that I thought it would and agree with Jason that the fenders still look WIDE!

Makes it look like a cop car.

Looking forward to more BSM pics with regular wheels and clear indicator lenses.

But VO with the black wheels and kidney's would look sensational!

Agree that dark wheels on the Vo would make it look even better, but I would personally do a gunmetal/titanium finish than absolute black

Agreed - proves that if they had considered doing a Monte Carlo Blue then that on the Black HG Wheels with kidneys etc etc would really look the cats Meow!

IMO the black wheels disfigure the car. Never appreciated black wheels on black cars. It actually doesn't make a big difference if you put some nice 19 inch wheels or those:

So, I don't make any judge so far. Have to see it with the stock wheels, and I'm quite sure it will look far better.

sq86 · 02-18-2011, 02:52 PM

I'm liking it. This is going to make my decision between VO and BSM really hard. I hope they have a VO 1M at NYC auto show. That will make my decision a lot easier. I think some gunmetal wheels would look awesome.

Still makes me go "meh"....I still like the original Performance pkg look better (ala my car

). To top it off I really don't like most of the color options...oh wait there is only 3...LOL AW is ok but damn there are a lot of AW 1ers' (BSM as well)....

Oh damn you had to go and put the Opel Calibra on here! I have seen some pretty nicely modded ones when I was in Germany (American designed BTW for Europe to combat the JDM coupes).

I know some don't like it. But for some reason I really love it. Simple.

Wolf · 02-18-2011, 03:35 PM

Just slap a dark black tint

and the car is will be the next grim reaper... I like it!

1-series D · 02-18-2011, 05:04 PM

MDivPower · 02-18-2011, 05:31 PM

it looks amazing in the three colors, if i could afford one, and if i was for one in the market i would have really hard time, but i think i would go for the bsm with black wheels as the one in the picture, cause i guess it would make the car meaner, in real life, than the stock ones.

Hehe nice one. Even restored the M-badge

But it's ALOT better with silver wheels. I like black wheels, but I don't like them on black cars. It's not because of the rims, but the grey tires. That gives an overall look of a strange mixture of black and grey I don't like

But that black wheels on a VO or AW one would be outstanding!

Exactly ! That's the first thing I thought of in Leipzig!

Nice to see some photos surface... the look of the car from the front in black is SO mean.... as is the view from the rear... I am looking forward to everyone seeing more of this car in Black and seeing the reactions then...

datbimmerdoe · 02-18-2011, 08:25 PM

BEAST, just how it should look.

GOLFFRR · 02-18-2011, 09:36 PM

These colors must be seen in person to make the right opinion

335iMIAMI · 02-19-2011, 10:15 AM

As others have said the black on black doesn't look good IMO. And that thing needs to be dropped on KW's it sits way too high for my liking.
