My Ride: 525d LCI - xenon, tv function,grey dakota leather,titanium silver,244 radial spokes.
It look does look mean, alright!!
Buttttt I'm not a big fan of grey/black rims, I love the hypersilver finish that your alloys had earlier. Infact, I took a pic of the 166m rims to the paint shop and asked them to match that shade on my alloys.

I hear ya Sahil... my car looks much better in person; loving the rims dude, loving the rims!!! BTW whats up with the 17'' 243 Star-spok for your 520d??? You seriously need to update that stuff dude.
The new hypersilver paint finish on my radial spoke 525d rims have enhanced the looks, I call them a poor mans 166m
. And boy am I loving the regular tubeless over the RFTs ! Upsized to 245/45R17 Michelin PP2s and grip levels are much better too.I'd love to upsize to 18s or 19s but my usage is pretty extensive (already clocked close to 35,000kms ! ) and our roads demand a downsize rather than an upsize at this point
Btw, did you get the work done at the Infinity? What was the damage on the powder coat? You should get your brake calipers painted ASAP!
Your building looks fimilar, is it BeauMonde at Prabhadevi?

That car is not for personal use, its stays in Pune. If I used it myself you really think i'd settle for a 520d !?

I agree with your practical downsizing but it is ALWAYS going to be up sizing for moi.
Got the car done at Navnit (your advise)... cost me 35K total.. including painting the front bumper.
Milan at Navnit is working a paint that can withstand the heat of the break calipers (target colout pic attached for your viewing pleasure)
Live in the building next to BeauMonde (Chatanya Towers)

This comment is completely out of line. Insults are not welcome here.
why insult someone on the style of their car? THAT in itself is hideous.
