I have not, unfortunately. Still waiting for a new floor jack to arrive so that I can use the Jackpoint jack stands I picked up last month. They are a great product, but finding a jack that will work with them is next to impossible. I finally caved and went with the custom Brunnhoelzl jack through Jackpoint. Jackpoint has them made in group batches to work well with their jack stands. I should have the new jack within the next week and will attempt to fit the new wheels ASAP.

As of now, I'm thinking I will make them my street wheels due to tire cost of tracking 19s. If I can sell the OEM 719M wheels, I might go ahead and get another set of these same BBS CH-R, but 18" and black w/ polished lip for dedicated track use.
The 19's would be the better option for the street. 18s for the track. My opinion anyway.

Custom steering wheel and shifter are both nice touches. Congrats!

Update on 6/10: BBS wheels installed... errr on half of the car. Other side will be done tomorrow. Ran out of time this evening.

(Yes, I detailed and waxed the inside of the wheels prior to the initial installation. ... and no, the wheels are not being scratched due to the Michelin PS4S tires having a protective rubber edge that protects both sides of the rim.)

Life and my 18-month old have kept me busy for the past month, but this weekend turned out to be a pretty leisurely one. I was able to spend some time in my garage for once, and finally got around to installing the BBS wheels!

Here are the wheel specs again for those who want to know:

19" BBS CH-R in Bright Silver w/ Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tire

front: 8x19 et40 + 235/35/19 tire (vs. stock 7.5x18 et45 + 225/40/18 tire)
rear: 9x19 et44 + 255/30/19 tire (vs. stock 8x18 et52 + 245/35/18 tire)



The end result is +11.35mm wheel poke in front and +20.7mm in the rear. I was worried about the rear being a little too aggressive, and to be honest, I think it does poke out a little bit too much for my liking. I will see how it looks tomorrow in the daylight before I pass final judgement.

Good news is that everything else seems to fit great. No clearance issues with the front strut and I don't expect any rubbing anywhere. That said, I am a little nervous about the possibility of the excessive rear poke causing issues if the rear suspension were to compress fully in an extreme load situation. I'm not sure how much upward travel the wheel has before bottoming out the suspension, but the sharp edge of the fender right above the wheel is basically in-line with the outer edge of the tire tread. I'm worried that if the suspension can compress enough, my fender could cut through the tire. Is this a valid concern or am I being paranoid about it???

I just hope I don't dislike the rear poke enough to sell the wheels...LOL. I'm pretty particular about wheel aesthetics, so if I decide it doesn't look right, someone here might end up with a pretty good deal on a brand new set of BBS CH-R + PS4S tires. . I'd just use the proceeds to fund my now immediate need for the M-Performance LSD and worry about finding those "perfect" fitting wheels later. .

Seriously though, if you are interested in this new wheel set, PM me and we can talk tomorrow after I make the final call and before I put any miles on them.

Nice, awesome wheels! I installed mine a few weeks ago, same sizes. Yeah, the rear is very aggressive. Actually the wheel is flush but the tire's rim protection bead does poke out beyond the fender, I'm running 255 in the back. I don't think you'll rub with the stock suspension. I've had a car load of guys squeezed in and have gone over speed bumps and some good dips without any rubbing.

Give the wheels some time to see if that rear is gonna be too much for you. I don't think it looks Donk and I'm super picky too although I think et50 would be perfect.

Thanks! Yes, they do look good now that I've had a chance to pull the car out of the garage and take a look around.

Still though, as crazy as it sounds, I've decided to forfeit these wheels so I can fund the LSD. I just feel the car needs that more right now than a 2nd set of wheels that ultimately won't get tracked and used as they should be. Maybe I'll splurge on wheels again next year after a couple of track days on the stock wheels + LSD, but since I didn't realize how much the car could use the LSD, I'll chalk it up as a lesson learned and move on from here. Sooooo who wants to buy a new set of wheels?

Those are some wicked looking wheels.

I don't like the look of the stock wheels on many cars nowadays mainly because I don't like the dual color (silver/black) that seems to be in fashion nowadays.

I also learned something new. I have always thought that the wheel size on the M sport F22 and M sport F30 are the same. I learned from this thread that the F22 wheels are 0.5" thinner than the F30.

I wish BBS made wheels in stock sizes, but it seems like everything they make is bigger or at least wider than stock.

Melbourne Red is cool. I would totally get a red car, but I once had an accident in a bright red rental car so I'm superstitious about that color.

Looks great so far! Still planning on doing those seats? Those are going to look amazing with the matching backs.

Thanks guys!

The stock 719M wheels are back on the car and the interior is now complete after installing the MP arm rest and floor mats.

The car is totally stock as it stands. Here is what still needs to be done by the end of the summer:

- MP LSD
- MP black rocker panel decal + side blades painted body color
- clear bra or some type of PPF applied

After these mods, the car will remain as-is for awhile until I can get at least a few track days under my belt with this car. Then, if I feel it's needed, I will consider adding some lightweight Recaro buckets maybe next year at some point.

Here is a shot of the completed MP interior:

Thank you all for the positive comments! I am happy to say that bucket seats have been moved to the top of the mod list now that there is an official group buy started over on m3forum.net for fully custom, factory-upholstered Cobra Racing Nogaro bucket seats:

http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=600810

I cannot wait to get these seats in my car! I have sourced black Dakota leather and legit Alcantara fabric for the project as well. Will make the car feel that much more special on the inside, not to mention keep my rump planted in the seat on harder turns.

Little update:

Here's a pic with the recently installed MP rocker panel decal and Melbourne Red painted (by IND) side skirt blades attached directly underneath. I installed everything myself in my garage. It was scary drilling 11 holes on each side my new car, but I am proud to say it was done flawlessly and I am glad I didn't trust it to a 3rd party for such a detail-oriented job. I think the end result was worth the effort and learning experience for sure!
