Is that JMK in Springfield?

Yep. They're 5 minutes from my home. I've purchased 6 cars from them since 1999. Great folks to work with and great supporters of the local community! Before I was a customer, I worked with them when I was in the Jaycees and we raffled off a car to raise money for college scholarships. They got us a great price on a Z3 and let us show one around town. I love doing business with folks that support the community!

I don't know what it is about the stock lookin wheels, although I think that these are 19"ers, but I really like these in polish. Goes well with the EB in my estimation. Now to figure out where these wheels come from? They just look like a bigger version of the stock 228i M-spot wheel. Anyone know where these are available from? BMW?

Untdrums · 06-16-2015, 09:02 PM

Just got tinted Friday but it's been raining so I haven't had a chance for a proper detail. They look darker than they really are and I wish I could've convinced the shop to go darker. They said it had to be legal

35% front 5% rest. Good deal from a place in Addison with a 15% Yelp discount. I figure it's good enough since it's a lease.

Sorry for the Instagram filters

Can you get a picture/shot of the top showing the carbon wrap better? Also, where did you get this wrap from, I'm really interested in doing this to my 2'er when it comes to that time.

Hemisedan · 06-18-2015, 09:37 AM

yola89: i;m interested in your offer, but can't seem to be able to answer you. I'm new to this and can't figure out how to get to private messages.

It's actually Satin Black, not a carbon fiber pattern. I had a local South Jersey install it for me for about $200 and I really love the way it turned out. The rails and the shark fin were done in gloss black to mimic how the M cars CF roofs look. Here's the only overhead picture I have of my car

That looks amazing! Really love all of your mods. Did they actually wrap the shark fin or is it painted? From what I have read it is very hard to wrap.

I have a roll of gloss black vinyl, but haven't had time to take the car in to get the roof done. Planning on getting it done next week as it's my last cosmetic mod I have planned. It would be really nice to be able to wrap the spoiler instead of painting it as I wont have to buy a new one when I turn the car in.

Thanks! They did actually wrap it and you can't even tell. The company I used is pretty well known for doing full wraps on McLarens, Ferraris, etc..

Thank you for the reply! I'll check with the company I spoke with and see if they are able to do that.

I doubt they have wrapped any exotics since they are very rare around here, but I have a friend that is a police officer (and actually a member on here) and he said they do a great job on all the cruisers.

That was mine! I work for BMW of Turnersville so you can see it there any time you'd like. I used Designer Wraps in Millville for the wrap and the wheels are VMW V710s in Sunken Treasure bronze

Ha! So funny! I was dropping my dad off to get his oil changed at BMW and while I was waiting in the car saw you pull up (you're blonde right?)! I was drooling over it, then saw you drive over to Cadillac and drove over to admire it again! Do you also have the M-Performance Exhaust, Sounded Awesome!

Considering I thought those were the VMW710s (i was going todo them in matte black) Ill probably change the rims so we dont have 2 carbon copy 235s within 5 miles of each other

! Your car was exactly how I was planning on doing mine!

Ill be in next week to sign the final paperwork before I leave for ED! (working with Chris T and Paul)

That was actually my girlfriend driving my car haha, she works over at Audi and was borrowing it for the day. I do have the MPerformance exhaust, it really does sound great. I'm the Genius over here at BMW but I'll be switching over to CA on Saturday, you should buy it from me instead

I am digging the satin black with the gloss accents but also torn between just getting it done all gloss black - anyone have any pics of a 2er with a gloss black roof wrap? or good with photoshop that can do a quick rendering on a pic or two?
