Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!

Frozen colors are good for show cars only. Not practical for any other use IMHO. I Just noticed the smears you pointed out. I would be too fussy over the paint to enjoy the car.

Sucks that they didn't update the headlights for the e9x M's, face-lifted e92 headlights are so sexy lit up...

Very good performance parts

I'm still wondering if the next gen will have an option of ceramic brakes...

rjd598 · 09-30-2010, 04:58 PM

please more specs on that exhaust and sound clip!!!!!

SpencerM3 · 09-30-2010, 06:02 PM

Love the LED's

M3 Montreal · 09-30-2010, 06:10 PM

I actually like the front skirt and rear wing...

Any idea as to the cost and does the rear wing actually add downforce or just purely cosmetic?

BuckarooVT90 · 09-30-2010, 06:21 PM

just think... change the roundels with a yellow and black bat emblem... POWWWW!! Batmobile!!!

SchnellM3 · 09-30-2010, 06:28 PM

Very Nice

anthony @ eas · 09-30-2010, 06:44 PM

I guess I'll have to see it in person, but I think frozen gray looks way better than that frozen black.

goldn · 09-30-2010, 06:48 PM

gorgeous.

DM1 · 09-30-2010, 06:48 PM

Angel eyes need to be updated to the LED ones in bright white light instead of the old amber IMO,... everything else is just AWESOME!

bavarian19 · 09-30-2010, 06:49 PM

eh

Race_Doc11 · 09-30-2010, 07:12 PM

I was at my bobyshop last week and I saw a brand new Lambo LP640 in matte purple getting a full body paint because of finger smears from a car show. a $35,000 paint option from the factory and couldn't stand few days at the car show

Wow, so close to being complete yet they didn't finish it off with bmw performance racing seats maybe an suede interior and performance steering wheel.

+1, but I think either way, the rings dim when the xenons turn on. At least that is how the new F10 angel eyes work. Beautiful bright light when running solo, but hit that Xenon switch and it goes dim.

BMW should have given them their own electrical path/harness to the battery instead of splicing off the Xenon power.

Dackz · 09-30-2010, 10:57 PM

LOVE IT, Id get matte black front grills, matte black exhaust tips, matte it all out, black interior, the MURDERED OUT CAR OF MY DREAMS!!!!

Anyone got some $$$$$ laying around????
