My Ride: '05 545i SMG, 35% Tint, LED Angel Eyes
Got the car back from the stealer after the recall service last week. With all the new braking components minus the vacuum pump, the car stops like a champ. They swapped the master cylinder, brake booster, and vacuum hose plus a loaner. Liking the R1 & Hawk HPS combination even more now that the brake works properly. A nice day before the rain hit so I thought I'd snap a few pix of my ride after a running a few errands. Not too bad for iPhone. Enjoy~~

NICE!!! I'd take em off and spray them with the car's color but that's because I get bored. Very sharp look. Are the lips the same? They appear to be staggered with the same lip size. Are my eyes fuzzy?

Thanks fells for the props. The lips are not the same. 
It's a stepped lip with a 2" front and almost 4" in the rear.

Nice car, love the combo. How was your braking BEFORE the service? Suspect @ all? I have R1 concept slotted rotors w/ stock pads I like how they stop,however rust is starting to form which is very unattractive

That is so sweet... Bummer I had to replace my front tires due to a pothole flat thus summer, and I stuck with 18s.
Your rims and the m-tec kit look so incredible. I have the same '05 545 SMG in titanium grey. You, sir, have put together a work of moving art. Bravo!

Love your wheels , man.
I installed the same pads and rotors as yours just one day before i took it in for the recall so that they'd change the fluid as part of the recall work. I am also getting a new master cylinder so I can't wait to feel the new brakes.
