Congrats on the wheels, their look, and the patience required to get what you really wanted.

Wheel looks FANTASTIC! M2 trim makes a massive difference.

Was the foam trimmed from the heated module that I don't have? Mine truly was able to fit easily over the F22/F30 wheel I have, no trimming or modification whatsoever.

Maybe? Honestly don't know what all the wires are for, there's a big chunk of foam that occupied the entire space that's now open where the hole in the trim was, I just removed it. May see if there's an M2 equivalent that's smaller... or not worry about it.

Here are a couple pics of my wheel during assembly if they're helpful at all

Thanks. I've got that then also a big wedge that fills up all the space under the original trim. So I ditched that and am left with just what you have.

Oh interesting! My original leather wheel did not have that nor did my Alcantara wheel. Wonder if they did away with it at some point. Mine is a 2017 pre-LCI, but with the updated B58 engine.

real nice, what tint % is that ? and where did you get your M tech lip ?

aftercorbu · 10-25-2020, 05:25 PM

Not sure on the tint, was dealer tinted in Florida by original owner. Bimmerworld for the lip. Happy with it.

Glacier Gang unite! Looks amazing bud. Stock rear diffuser? That's the one piece of the car I'm still on the fence about, on a glacier car (I'm stock).

I’m with you on the diffuser. Not a fan of that smooth gloss black. Wife thinks that has to go too. Kind of a throwback thing, but I appreciate the dual single exit exhaust. Likely will be going the AA axleback route. Need to check into options on the diffuser.

Mizuno · 10-25-2020, 08:14 PM

RW Carbon Performance style lip. Just a dry fit for now but looks like it'll fit perfectly and easily

Kobylash · 10-26-2020, 09:22 AM

Took the car to the strip. This was the best time of the day, the rest of the runs were pretty consistently 11.65 @ 120.

This is just brake boosting with DSC off and transmission in sport mode as I couldn't get launch control to work without throwing the car into limp mode immediately after getting going - frustrating to say the least. I've contacted both bootmod and XHP to see if they have any advice.

Yes, very well done, indeed!

Fit Cerium Gray kidneys from a M240i. Looks good on Melbourne Red, shame BMW discontinued the color for the I6

Yeah that cerium looks good with the red paint... Hm. Bronze wheels might look great.

Agreed! With this grill I definitely think darker wheels are in order, I'd love to stick to OEM wheels though. I bought the car used with Style 380s and like them but there's just something about Ferric Grey 461Ms that can't be beat...

It's going down below freezing tonight, so I put out this year's first round of mouse traps.
