I have a coupe and not a vert, so I quadruple checked that I ordered for a coupe. The fact that you bring this up, makes me think maybe I received a vert version, even though I ordered for a coupe?

Yeah that's a possibility.

Whiteline rear subframe bushing inserts. Best $44.91 I ever spent.

I got the BMW for that exact reason. For CF that is in the sun without rock damage potential, go for the real deal.

Shrug, most of us have to do it to learn.

BMW Carbon fiber diffuser on.

I think this is the first time I've seen your car. Stripes are clean and tasteful, and those BBS's are making my eyes water.

You really need to post more pictures of your car.

I have Mattig eyelids i sprayed over with the dip, IMHO they really make 1ers look 10x betters. without them the headlights just look way too big and awkward. wheels are powdercoated anthracite with a red lip. thanks man!

Dafttt · 08-23-2013, 03:53 PM

Ohh man, I really need to start playing with some paint. Love the painted calipers.

Apex 90mm stud kit I put on last week.

Fronts with spacers:

Rear without spacers:

^sticks hilariously far out!

Thanks.

I really didn't start any visual things until this month. I wanted to focus on performance/driving. I promise I will clean it up and get a few photos before the summer is out and I'm on snows.

Yikes, why the 90mm?

The rears looks like chariot with swords on the wheels.

LOL!! *chariot wheels* I nearly cried laughing.

I didn't realize how much they poke until this pic. Standing above, I swear they don't look so bad.
New wheels coming soon and they'll need some spacers front and rear to avoid suspension rubbing. Thought, "what the heck, how bad could 90mm be..."
Yeah... hahah!

To be honest, I'm kinda digging the front. I'm going to keep them and see how they fit with spacers, but in reference it's prettty hilarious.

Replaced rear lower damper bushings.
