Absolutely loving it. Really changes up the look.

Im glad to see that it's not just me that cant get a perfect picture with the wheels installed. I literally thought it was my shitty phone cameras fault. But, I see that even with better equipment, these wheels aren't easy to capture.

The photos posted on here are just from my iPhone. I broke out the camera yesterday but the conditions weren’t the best as it was fairly cloudy and the sunset was a bust. I haven’t loaded them onto the computer yet to see how they turned out so we’ll see.

From my one day of ownership (mounted on the car) though, I can already tell that any marketing material from BMW has specifically honed in and edited the saturation and vibrance of the wheels. To be expected of course, but definitely a bit misleading as the wheels don’t appear that way in all lighting conditions like they have portrayed.

So, what you’re telling me is, when we see pictures like this, these have definitely been doctored?

Everything was straightened out and the wheels are now on the M3.
