Congratulations, picked up my car today myself also had them put in red reflectors - $11.50 a piece plus tax - cheaper then Bekkers.

S_Juice , they aren't lit, it is a reflection of the flash you re seeing there.

DUDE!!! Long Beach BMW wanted $18.95 a piece for them!!! I told thme forget it I'll shop around as I know I can get them cheaper either from Bekkers or another dealer...

Then I told him I think its only $11.90, he looked it up internally in thier system and sure BMW NA has it listed as that price but he said thats LOWER than their cost! HOW THE HECK DOES THAT WORK?? but he gave them to be at $11.90 in the end and said BMW will eat the difference...

Great pics! Damn, that thing looks sweet. I like the non-sport package wheels a lot better than I thought I would. You are going to love your new ride, my man!

Thanks for your comments. Car is silver - grey with black anthracite interior. I asked my dealer to put on the red reflectors before I picked up the car. They did them for free (they better, considering how much this baby cost).

I actually do like the non-sports rims, went with those because of problems I heard with the run-flats on the sports package. I will probably get some F1 tires for summer use.

I also noticed the hood was open slightly, they were just lightly rinsing it when I was there, no high pressure to get into the engine.
