Looks very good 
Where did you get the wheels/tires from? How much?
I just installed the Pilot Alpin's and I'm very happy with them so far. I've only had them on for about a week, but the car handles very well on the ice and in 2" of snow (unplowed road).
I just bought some 166 replicas off of lakeshore wheel so I'll have them come spring time.
**EDIT**
Just saw on bimmerfest that you paid $810 each. Holy sh!t. What are you running for summer tires??

OEM Wheels and Tires (Bridgestone)
18x 8.0 front, 18 x 9.0 rear Star Spoke (Styling 124) cast alloy wheels, 245/40R-18 front, 275/35R-18 rear performance run-flat tires
I like the factory wheels a lot, so I won't be changing them.

Looks great. Did you get the TPMS sensors installed on the 184 wheels too?

Very nice!
Like those wheels.
Maybe a bit "too open" for really snowy conditions
PS. What's the extra sticker on trunk lid?

The extra sticker on the trunk lid is "WG" - "West German BMW". The dealership put their logo on without my permission and now I am scared of removing it, in case it damages the paint work.
