active steering on the 1er must REALLY feel like driving a go-cart. i drove an 09 650 with it and if that boat can feel like a go-cart with it i cant imagine how it feels on the 1er

Car looks great, you are like my twin! How wide are those rear tires, and what are they? Looks aggressive.

Honestly, man, I think some graphite powder coating would really set off your blackout theme. Not quite black, but not quite gray. You see blacked out cars alot, and the graphite would just make your beautiful vehicle that much more unique. (Remember last month's M3 of the Month?)

I'm in the same boat as you with the wheels. I want to get my OEM wheels powder coated cause of a road rash incident and just can't decide how dark to go...

Leave the wheels alone. I've always thought the blackout + black wheels look was silly because the car would have no contrast.

You might not like this idea, but why not get your calipers painted white?
