Haha, it's actually a funny story.
This was taken when the silver EC-7s you see now were originally anthracite.
I originally had the 8.5 / 9.5 EC-7s in Anthracite with 225/255 RE71R's. This was honestly probably my favorite setup because the 225/255 were THICCC bois and looked great with dinan springs and stock camber. I let my dad drive the car after picking up pizza and since my apartment building garage is underground, there's a huge drain grate right before you enter. I told him to stay to the left and cut back in as I normally do to minimize scraping on the front lip, and let's just say he stayed a little too far left and curbed a large portion of the front drivers side rim. So, I had all 4 powder coated silver (pretty much indistinguishable from Apex's Race Silver - I did a side by side against another friend) and swapped to the 235/265 MPS4S at the same time.
I had a friend sell me his Anthracite EC-7s for a great price so I picked them up in a 8.5 square setup for winter wheels.
The future plan after Ohlins R&T is to mount 9.5 ET43's up front and play with the spacers to make them fit with 255/35 MPS4s.

Haha, while I agree Sunset Orange is a beautiful color, I'd have to disagree and say San Marino blue is BMW's best looking color
of course with Mineral Grey being a close second
