Here are the latest pics of mine whilst visiting family in Germany, now on its winter set-up
(OEM 128 19", 245/275 with 15mm spacers on the rear)

I'm still thinking about lowering it, more at the front than at the rear to enhance that raked/slanted stance Just worried about the impact on ride & handling. I was initially getting info about the Eibach Pro kit and more recently about the KW FSD... sounds like it could all get quite expensive... again

Great looking car.. I envy your shadow line :-)

Were you not planning a black front grill?

HEYA

Washed the baby today after driving up north to Lapland and had to take a pic from that beautiful sky...it was nice winter sunset and -11 C
Very, very nice!

I am not prepared for those temps, or any white stuff on the ground.

It actually snowed here yesterday - for about 10 seconds, and then came rain.

I do not even have a time with BMW to get my winter set up installed... Perhaps I should think about that!

Ok, back out to the yard to rake some leaves and power wash the garage floor!

I was, then I wasn't sure if I want that look. I like the contrast of the grill. I have a quote from Trinity for paint-matched grills and was considering getting those. I'm also getting quotes to have the car lowered, so would probably do it all as a combined "new look". It would infact end up looking very similar to Dave 530's car with the 128s on, which you may have noticed I've taken quite a liking to! The good thing about the grills is that you can easily remove them yourself if you don't like the look and they're not expensive. We'll see...

I am thinking to get the following in black CF to match my rear diffuser: CF M5 lower mirror covers and CF hood grills.

The USD is really cheap now.

Oops. Wrong thread!

I won't do the quad exhaust thing...

I still have my ears on for finding another CF rear diffuser, and if I find one, I will let you know.

I did find a company in Singapore (of course) that will take a brand new M-Sport diffuser and cover it with CF wrap. They want 650 Euros or so for buying the diffuser and covering it, including shipping to Finland.

I have been in e-mail contact with RevoZport (California and Hong Kong) about the CF mirror covers ($230 including shipping to Finland). They guaranty that they will fit without any problems... Let me know if you want to buy a pair.

Their CF grill is $525 USD.

Nice!

17"?

I guess that you don't need winter tires in southwest France!
