Like the wheels...although it seems that they tuck in quite a bit (maybe just the angle)

Were you able to order those wheels with your car as an option or replacement to the OE wheels or did you take delivery and purchase the wheels somewhere else?
Thanks
Thanks

Looks great! Very clean. Add those rear reflectors and a Poplar shift knob and you're complete! With white I always wonder how body colored trim and grille would look. But hey, it's not my car...

Do you know if California requires a front license plate?

[/quote]But many people opt to gamble and not install it. If you're caught, I think it's only a fine and I suppose it would be worth the risk to "roll the dice" and see if you can get away with it.
Thankfully, Pennsylvania doesn't require one -- cas, did the dealer just slap that mounting bracket on or did you ask them to?

[/quote]I ordered them from bmw wheels .com and the tires from tirerack.com and shipped them to my dealer to be put on when the car arrived 3 weeks ago.

[/quote]What's that extra medallion on the back of the trunk? Is the dealer paying you to advertise for him? I think I'd make him take it off.
