Tasteful mods. Looks great!

PDM5 · 03-20-2020, 11:07 PM

Can you post the details on the car (suspension, wheel specs, etc.)? I recently picked up some Apex Arc 8s as well, but in 8.5 et38 up front and 9.5 et 58 in the rear. I feel like I need to lower it as the wheels look tiny and it looks like I'm monster trucking . . . I also feel like I picked the wrong color going with Anthracite after seeing yours against a white 240 . . . ugh.

Car looks fantastic!

Thanks man!

I initially wanted anthracite but changed my mind and got hyper black. Either way, both colors look good.

I added my current set up above to my initial post.

Looking good, why 255/35 vs 265/35? liked the way the tires look even as opposed to one being more stretched than the other?

No reason except that I didnt want to worry about rubbing since I was lowering the car.

Haha well if it makes you feel any better, I'm running 265/35 MPS4s on 18x9.5 ET58 (+10mm spacer like you), and don't rub. So go for it when you're getting new tires!

LOL Nice! Good to know for next time. What suspension are you on?

trilax59 · 03-21-2020, 05:33 PM

What front lip is that? Do you have a link to it?

Dinan springs and Vorshlag Camber Plates up front. 265s work all day in the rear and looks great when brought out with the 10mm spacers.

No rolled fenders? I like the Wheels, they're sharp!

Car looks great! Always Love how White looks, just never liked keeping it clean

Nice

Moflow · 03-24-2020, 04:07 PM

Daaamn, that's a good looking 2-series. For some reason, i don't like white on the M2, but it somehow works much better here on a narrowbody car, probably because the styling is less 'busy' on the 240i. Great wheels too.

Jeeeez that's hot!
