My 1st "M" car

I just recently bought my first M. I have made the following mods to it:

1. H&R springs
2. 21" DPE 2-piece concave chrome rims
3. Getting a Vorsteiner front lip this week
4. Ordered the Eisenmann Race exhaust

Special Thanks to Eric at Supreme Power!

Are there any meets people go to in the L.A/Orange County areas??

Congrats! Nice wheels though I would have preferred a less glossy finish

Are those exhaust tips black?

I suppose that since you opted for chrome wheels you will want to keep all the chrome pieces on your car to match... which E-race tips did you order?

Saturday morning cars and coffee in Irvine. I haven't been in a long time. Might be good to get the crew back together for a coffee meet again.

Congrats. MCB rocks! Agree that the hair and carpet should match - go chrome tips. Or powder coat those new very shiny wheels you bought.

Bigger and faster cars + bigger brakes = bigger wheels.

Also, a no cost option for the M5 is to do the Aluminum outside trim instead of the shadowline for more Bling. IMO it looks better on the darker colored cars.

Those are the stock tips. I ordered the 102mm round tips which I believe are chrome.

Thanks to all for your feedback!

Wow sir, you are doing it right less glossy finish will suit the car personality better, like a matte gunmet, don't worry your choice of wheels is already the right one!.. keep doing what you're doing! Congrats!
