Very nice, I think everyone agrees that OEM+ is always a good look.

SDf10 · 11-05-2013, 10:06 PM

Great looking ride. As far as exhaust I would go eisenmann race or meistershaft. In the rims department I would go HRE, they are expensive but the quality, finish and CUSTOMER SERVICE is the best out of all wheel companies. I put customer service in bold as many wheel companies think they don't have to provide this cause they make cool wheels. Maybe put up some of the styles of wheels you like and so we can give you some more options. Congrats on the awesome car.

Very nice, I might get the mirror caps too one day.

looks good =)

Luminor513 · 11-06-2013, 02:17 PM

Looks great, really like the factory m-sport wheels in black

ausdude · 11-06-2013, 09:20 PM

Thanks guys for the complements. I went with gloss black instead of the matte black. Not that one is better than the other, I just don't see many in gloss

Redrckt135 · 11-06-2013, 11:26 PM

Your car looks great man, loving the front lip..

///M ARMY · 11-06-2013, 11:38 PM

looks good. slight drop with some 21 would set it off.

ausdude · 11-07-2013, 07:02 PM

Im looking at Meist SUS - GTC (EV Controlled) exhaust.

For my car..which tips would you choose (btw all of the black components are gloss black on my car) Im leaning towards the regular chrome:

Shadow Black Chrome or Chrome

Matte or Gloss Black

Guy I meet the other day at the gas station purchased brand new full M5 exhaust from the local member for $850.00. Car sounded great IMO

Walkabout · 11-09-2013, 07:57 AM

I was about to purchase a Meisterschaft system, but my dealer told me they had stopped selling them recently because of bad quality and poor customer service. So I'd consider my options if I were you regarding this exhaust...

Clean ride, however!

P1 · 11-09-2013, 12:42 PM

That looks excellent. From Austin also? I think I've seen you drive around before. I'm always on and off Mopac.

shoek · 11-11-2013, 12:57 PM

Unfortunately I've heard the same things about Meisterschaft quality, which has kept me on the fence so far. I love the tone it has, though!

Yes I'm in Austin. I'm on and off Mopac too. I need some good exhaust that sounds amazing

I wonder what it would sound like with some Flowmaster Series 40s? Not even halfway joking either.

IM2C · 11-15-2013, 05:07 PM

Well done. Not a big fan of a black/cf rear spoilers on a white car, everything else is

ausdude · 11-15-2013, 06:44 PM

The carbon fiber rear spoiler and mirror caps were on the car new. This was something BMW NA did and I just followed their lead and glad that I did. I think the contrasting colors make the otherwise big bloated sedan look rather sporty and more youthful. To each their own and thanks for the comments!

Yes, I feel the CF rear spoiler makes the rear look wider when you look at the rear of the car from a certain distance.

BMWJester5oS · 11-27-2013, 11:39 AM

Great looking build. Love the gloss back diffuser. Working on that one myself....

HighConcept · 11-27-2013, 03:31 PM

BMW OEM parts are just so refined and perfect. Great selection choices and a gorgeous ride you got there.

ausdude · 11-27-2013, 10:39 PM

The rear diffuser is one of my favorite parts
