Awesome job!

I've had a few manual cars, evoX, R32, STI, and a 135i
The amount of power this car puts down with this gear box is like no other. 1st gear is super short but everything after that is just amazing.
I had a 7AT supercharged g37 so I'm familiar with the VQ engines, they are great but this is just in its own class. I honestly love it.

I'm not a fan of dark blue paint like tazanite blue but your car in tazanite blue looks really gorgeous, tastefully modified and looks way better than how it came out from the factory. Enjoy your beautiful ride!

I like Forgestar F14s, was looking at bronze burst for my previous car, only reason I didn't go with them was that they don't support BMW center caps. That's just me though. Car looks great, love the color!

jdgamble · 06-17-2022, 10:38 AM

Wow. That's just a great color combo (TB+bronze). Well played.

Seems like since the M5 CS I'm seeing gold/bronze wheels popping up everywhere and in a lot of places they don't look good.

This is not one of those places, they're killer with the blue! And a great looking rim to boot.

Beautiful car

knightarmor · 06-17-2022, 02:30 PM

Looks great dude! Love the color!

Man!! That means a lot, and you are right sometime it just doesn't work on the car or color. I'm super happy this vision didn't go south for me lol

Funny story is I actually ordered bronze burst for this one but they sent golden bronze instead and I think it looks way better, the satin finish against a metallic paint is an amazing contrast

FrozenGT · 06-17-2022, 03:44 PM

Was there any particular reason why you went with a cheaper wheel tire combo over over the stock setup?

The stock wheels are fully forged and tires also better. Also you decrease turning radius not running double staggered.

Oooof might have to switch from BSM to TB for a car that's never going to be produced.

First picture I haven't hated everything about the car in

Your setup and your photographic presentation are superb. Congratulations. I have shot hundreds of pictures of my TB X3 M40, and find that almost every angle renders a different color. I now describe TB as "not a color, but a palette of colors, starting with a purple-grey carbon, shifting to navy, highlighted with brilliant metallic royal blue." There are many beautiful BMW blues, but not are really "like" Tanzanite. We named (with plates) our Mineral White X5M "Jupiter" ("the Gas Giant"). This grocery getter goes by "NEP2N."
