Wow looks great! Do you have to have your iphone connected with wire or is there a wireless option?
Fully wireless, but you can still hard wire in if you want to. I have a quick charger for my phones so I prefer the wireless option. Works great!

Today I replaced all discs and pads. Had some shudders at "spirited" speeds. ��, the rotors on the back were original badged! So 180,000km on the first set?!

Looks great! Are your front wheels a deeper concavity profile than the rears? Absolutely love these wheels.

DOPE! I seriously considered that color when painting my calipers. It really is a nice color.

On the bright side, got my G11 brake calipers for my custom BBK upgrade powder coated Illusion Orange. They REALLY pop in the sun, the photos don't do them justice. The photo is from the powder coater, so it's kind of potato. I'll post a better one when the sun is out, been cloudy all day.

No, usual HRE FlowForm sizes, Fr 20x9 (+25), Rr 20x10 (+40). It was probably the angle of photo.

Here is photo taken from front of vehicle.

No this lip is made for M5 style bumper. OEM M5 lip doesn't fit M5 style bumpers as far as i know.
Yeah it killed my soul when i heard the sound of it breaking.. New lip should arrive in 2 days tho, hope it will last longer

I've done that as well, it is indeed very nice. Only thing that bothers me is that the airbag is now not matching the trim lol. There's a M airbag that can match the trim, but it wasn't worth it for me.
