FINALLY some pics of my MBeast

For some BMW created the perfect machine and it shouldn't be changed, "Stock or DIE ",
I on the other hand prefer to personalize my rides a bit. I like what you've done. Keep it up!

Nice ride! Like C was saying, get the chrome swapped with the black for your grille. Also, as you said you're getting Brembo's so that should set the wheels off just right. Not sure if this would be too much, but tinted tail lights possibly? Nothing dark. Something very subtle.

Got the car back last week from the dealership ( they did my wheels under warranty ) and since it rained the last few days i didnt want to get her out because of the road salt residues still on the roads. But last night i took her out, cleaned her up a bit and took a few shots on my little Canon SD780IS powershot (sorry no DSLR pics until me and my bros have a shoot lol)...
I KNOW THEY ARE BAD... MORE PICS TO COME!!!

I LOVE THIS CAR!!!
(WAAAAAYYYYY better than my previous MB E350, but quite a bit more expensive :( )
yesss please please PLEASE get some black grilles on that...I can't stop looking at them rather than the car as a whole since everything else is black...

Cool looking ride. What about painting the stock calipers? They're huge, just not fixed like a Brembo.
Also - Don't the grills just pop in and out? It'll be dirt cheap to get blacked out grills or carbon grills and try them.
Damn that front license plate.
FWIW - I have the same concerns over suspension and ride quality. By this time next week I should have the Dinan stage 3 kit on. Steve implies the ride quality is not compromised...we'll see.
Once I have it lower, then I'll get spacers on there too. They too might effect ride quality a little.
Am I one of the only ones here that thinks the 166 wheel is a smokin good looking wheel? And one of the easiest to clean to boot!
I did see a product at the mercedes dealer which is a spay-on polish of some sort that's supposed to make your wheels much easier to clean. I'll look into it further.

okay boys:
Whose got the inside scoop on some Matte/Gloss/Carbon Grilles for this car.. Im in Ontario, so Canadian would be better.
I'll do it!! but BMW charges $140/ black grille insert... HARDLY worth it!

Love the all black look. I agree silver is boring. Car looks perfect a little drop action, some grilles and you're set. You don't need Brembos or lighter tint, but spacers will also set it off. You won't believe what a great difference they make in the cars stance
