Beautiful car!

Yup

Sweet wheels looks mean!

I've got the EWG specific JB4 board... Haven't ever had a drivetrain malfunction error. Think it's only $35 swap for your existing board.

I no longer have that issue.

Props.
Looks killer inside and out.

Bonus points for the 6MT.

This looks great! What other wheels were you looking at before choosing these? I've been trying to find a nice 8.5/9.5 setup which seems pretty rare on this car.

I looked at some vorsteiners but these are the only real contender factoring price in. I love them.

Beautiful car! I went all black with mine, but the VMRs look great. How do you like the tuningwerk exhaust? I'm looking for a nice exhaust to complete my car and always prefer the opinion of an actual owner. I don't want something obnoxiously loud, but more exciting than the MPE.

I love it! Extremely happy with it. Thy being said it is a bit loud mated with the catless downpipe. If you want something that can be quieter when you want it to look for one of the systems with a valve that you can open and close. Those can have huge sound but you can turn it off at the flip of a switch which is awesome.

Kind of off topic I suppose but but yeah I love it but it is a bit loud is what im saying.

Thanks for getting back, I was wondering if those switches actually made a real difference. I'll continue to look and thanks for the honest feedback. Enjoy the beautiful ride!

Check out Meisterschaft's website they have videos with the valve open and closed and its a huge difference!

Are your Roundels vinyl overlays or replacement Roundels?

Alan - looking great and love the 710s, was wondering how they would look on a M235. Debating 18 or 19s sometime in the future. Looking very sexy!

I love the look of the 19s on it. Only thing to keep in mind being that I do generally like a little bit less stretched and beefier looking tire, in that case the 18 would be the way to do. Either way they make a world of difference over stock.

How is the ride on the HRs with the thinner sidewalls now?

Not much different. If anything it feels a bit stiffer so you can lean on it a bit harder with less give.

Love this car! Anybody any opinions about fitting grey rims to a mineralgrey one?

I decided that these are the wheels I want for my car. Where did you find them for the best price?

Thanks!
