Still have them...still waiting for feedback from manufacturer...not much hope there. I will have to bite the bullet and try to downsize rear tires to see if that fixes problem...but that is an EXPENSIVE experiment.

I never sold them...said I was thinking of doing it but never made a serious thread about it.

Thanks to the mind of Johan@WSTO, I took his idea on their project car and twisted it a bit with the CF vinyl.

I do... however, when you say Dark Knight I think most (myself included) would assume you're talking about the Batmobile/Tumbler which was obviously black to the max (not a lambo which was in the movie for what, 45 seconds until its crushed and isn't even driven by Batman but only Bruce Wayne?). Maybe it's just me but I've seen "Dark Knight" labeled stuff before... 99/100 times it's blacked out so thats just what I expected to see with a title as bold as "New pix of my little Dark Knight".

Is it really worth being argumentative over? Really? I mean, it's obviously a nice car, and he's been on the forum for a while. Who cares what it's called. A rose by any other name...

Ok, ok your right and I am wrong for naming my car "Dark Knight" and for making my little custom Batman start/stop symbol and confusing you...jeez BTW...Go Bucks! LOL...

oh please....

1. Don't try to pull the Chicago card on me... I've lived in Chicago my entire life with the exception of the 4 years I spent in Madison. Try transplanting a brain back into your head before you try "calling me out" on being a Bucks fan before you make assumptions on who I am and where I'm from. Ive been rooting for the Bulls/Bears/Hawks/Sox for almost 30 years.

2. You calling your car the Dark Knight as almost as cheesy as someone giving themself the nickname T-bone... It's one thing if people started giving you that nickname but you gave it to yourself which I just think is a tacky way to ruin a nice car. I mean if I painted my car green and put a few racing striped on it can I nickname it Bullet?
It looks almost nothing like a Lambo other than a similar color, which isn't all matte nor dark enough of a color, it's a stretch. On top of all of that, you don't even have those black rims anymore so it's even less similar... besides its a 1 series, not a $300-400k Lambo.

3. You are right, you can't please everyone. I'm not even saying you're not pleasing my personal taste because go back and look at the FIRST thing I wrote. I just think the name is tacky is all and if you're gonna put stuff like that out there then be prepared to have some people not like it and voice there opinions about it. If you're not used to this you haven't been on here long enough.

Far from Dark Knight... Might as well call it the superman edition

Sigh.....Go Bucks as in Big Ten (you do have the Badgers in your sig right? figured you would "get it"). Yes naming it is a bit cheesy but I liked it...ok you don't and that is entirely your perogative. But I think it is about as cheesy as naming your car "Betsy" or "Eleanor". I was inspired by the lambo's color scheme and based my color scheme off of it. I do have dark colored rims (did you read the questions asking me what happened to them?) they are just not on the vehicle due to circumstance.

BTW the way I agree with the Bulls/Bears/Hawks...but am a Cubs fan
Take it easy man...everything I said before was said in jest...remember sometimes it is hard to determine tone when reading...that is why I use smilies!

and I agree which is why I was defensive since my 1st post was just stating I didn't see much of a resemblance. I thought you meant Bucks as i Milwaukee... I get too much roasting from the Chi guys about living in Wisconsin for the last 4 years.

Bottom line is mod your car the way you want to, it's yours and the pix I saw of your wheels on and everything looked pretty nice anyway so I know you have good taste (your color combo is what I wanted on my car originally too so I am jealous of that). I just prefer to skip the nicknames all together and let the modding do the talking if you know what I mean.

[Ricer X]

I named my own pen!s Dark Knight (cuz of its color scheme). Is that cheesy too Mr. High and Mighty Badger, Judge of all things BMW forum?!?
