With the brakes looking that new, it looks almost like a hotwheel car.

My new to me Misano blue M135i with privacy glass.

Looking to add some M wing mirrors, 554m alloys with better tyres, and possibly some more gloss black elements in the future.

Great car! Came from a RWD M140i which got vandalised. Very pleased with my new motor.

Looks great! Sorry to hear about your M140i
Since you have all the cerium grey pieces, just getting the 557M wheels and call it a day would also work. Going for Misano blue and Cerium grey contrast I think would look very cool!

245/40 R18 on stock wheel

Decided to go for a chunky looking wheel and tire combo so I order a set of Michelin Pilot sport Cup 2 in 245 section width. It cleared the strut by about 3mm and it looked exactly like I was hoping for. Also, the grip is on another level.
these tires are very stiff, even though they are too wide for an 8 inch wheel they are super crips in feel and steering respons and are still quite harsh on normal roads.

Love it! Thought about 245 aswell, but would have gone for 245/35 instead. But with the wheels i got now, this is not possible anymore. I am already praying that the 235 will fit.

Yesterday I got a gurney flap for the M Performance roof spoiler. I got it from Lightweight performance in Germany who custom made one for me in gloss black and without any logos. you can find the product description here: https://www.lightweight-performance....ler-p261758717

Fit fit and finish was excellent and it adds a bit of flare to the spoiler and makes it even more visible from behind.

I got another set of BMW oem hub caps, sanded them down to an eaven surface and had them painted gloss black. It's a small detail but I think it works great with the black wheels

Got some exterior mods coming soon!

He's gone emo. Blacked out the cerium grey parts and removed the xDrive badge. Next are the alloys.
