Would love to know the total cost of the "redo".... Kudos to anyone who has the discretionary funds for such a project! I liked the car white and I like it yellow.

I think that color really brings out the angled lines on the 1M. IMO, some of the lines disappear with BSM (my color). That side profile picture (from your first post) looks amazing. Way to go with something different!

Are you stitching the performance seats in yellow as well, including BMW Performance logo? If so that would look amazing. Dont forget to change the height setting to the lowest before installing seats. The bolts are micro encapsulated, one time use only, so you'll need eight new bolts from Recaro.

The dark CF side skirts create a nice optical illusion whereby the car seems longer and more streamlined by reducing the visual vertical height of the car from the side. This really creates a sense of proportion more in line with the M3 and looks quite good!
