Take some pics during installation of your mods. I'm sure we would all like to see that.

Man that is a wicked set up you have all the balls in the world and i bow down i too would love to due the monitor in the place of the idrive but i use my idrive all the time if pioneer or some other manufacture would make a screen with two inputs one for the mask of the idrive and one for upgradeing to a dvd video system and after market nav that would be the ulitmate many props bro keep us up on the mods. Also so far how much extra loot have you invested in these mods and i guess your warrenty is now voided?

Your car looks hot. I'm curious though. Do you have Active Steering or Dynamic Handling? If so, is there an any impact on those systems from the aftermarket springs?

I'm sure you're right about painting the calipers early on but my point was that BMW should be doing a bit more (like a powder coat or something) right from the factory, don't you think?

What also helps to keep your brake caliper nice is not to use a wheelcleaner when washing your car. With my old 330 Cic I always used soap and water to clean the wheels. I the end my calipers started to look a bit greyish but never rusty or so.

I have discovered that cleaning the wheels without an aggresive wheelcleaner isn't much extra work.
