ARC8's look primo on an e46, that was the first car I ever saw them on, in person.

Rims met their new skins, this is the street setup 235/40 F Cup2's and R 255/35 PSS's, already had em so f'it. Have 255 square for the track, R comps

Yep - we were after a period correct OEM+ kind of look. EC7 we thought kind of a modern update of the wheel, so good for the M235. Don't get me wrong both awesome, but parked side by side newer car w same wheels as older car we thought would look a little weird.

The very first pic I fell in love with was that nice black m235 from Europe with the silver EC7's (w/ BBS stickers lol), no tints, super clean car, and that's what I'd do for sure. The ARC8's are just "boss" track rims, to me, all business lol

Do you have that pic? My car is black wheels will be here this week.

They may have to wait til next week for install though. Assuming it passes inspection at bmw Nashville I'm flying down to take delivery of a 2007 X5 4.8 (big V8) w 40k on it. I need a winter tank.

Can't wait to get new wheels installed though very excited.

Found it!

Needless to say, but your car will look great! Stock height, still?

Awesome. I'm really excited now thanks for sending. I went with the anthracite finish similar to my BBS SR color which I like quite a bit.

Yes stock ride height still wasn't planning on messing with that just yet. I'd do more stuff on a coupe but vert only so much makes sense - to me at least. With the Lightweight front lip and EC7s I'm going to be looking good.

Current setup - 17s for bad roads. Back to 18s after getting a truck!

Where'd you get it? Looks awesome. I love the dry carbon look and really need to find some decently priced.

just replaced my rear bumper with M2 style without widebody

[QUOTE=bmw_biru;23025467]just replaced my rear bumper with M2 style without widebody

Stock M2 bumper or custom made - looks bad ass with the exhaust (also M2?)

Wagerd · 04-07-2018, 11:25 PM

Added carbon fiber m-sport spoiler to my car. Finishes lines on top back out nicely. Would pay $100 to not mess with old spoiler tape residue ever again. Placement is very precise to get everything to sit nicely. Hoping 3m tape already on the unit holds well.

K8_M235i · 04-08-2018, 06:44 PM

Installed a Dinan intake after 2 months of it sitting in the dining room.

I'm afraid none of your photobucket images are working.

DailySleeper · 04-08-2018, 08:01 PM

Sewed a new steering wheel cover on, beige and black perforated leathers with red centering stripe and blue/red stitching.

Shout out to member Nyorky2428 for the details on how to purchase and tips on how to install it.

For $50 and a couple hours of my time, I am happy with it. Completely removable too.

Took the steering wheel completely off to better tuck some of the edges under the steering wheel trim and now I'm getting error messages about the PDC
