I took the tire plan with the intention to cancel it after a year. I figured I would see how the 19s hold up to NYC winter roads. They will replace the tire under the plan for me. Sad part is that it has only 58 miles ...

How did you find out about this? and where there difference in wheel well space?
The wheel gap has been bothering me like crazy and then I read about dealers leaving spacers in by mistake. Only the passenger front has it. For the most part the car drove well but I realize now that it did "bottom" out when I hit a small speed bump at low speed. I was surprised but didn't think much of it at the time. I blamed the 19" low profile tires.

Since I bought my car off the lot

It did not come with M-Sport brakes. Fixed that right up today

G2 Color match Estroil Blue and black for the hubs.

G2 black caliper paint.

I did the same thing to my 335is. I own a fabrication shop and have the tools needed to really prep everything correctly. Front calipers didn't need much at all but the hubs had some rust that had to be removed and the rear calipers had a ton of casting marks that I took down and polished out. Will post more pics later when I go back to my shop and put the wheels back on.

The finished product. Only a fanatic would know they are not the M Sport package.

Nice! Did you have the dealer swap out your side vent grille from black to white? Also, did you go from stock 19" to 18" wheels?

This is Canadian Spec, so it comes with white side grille! 18'' inch wheel is winter setup, but too bad no snow so far.

Just got the car tinted and the full nose paint protected. I have SunTek CarbonXP 45 on the windows and SunTek film on the bumper, hood, fenders and mirrors with wrapped edges, no visible lines. Only a trained eye can tell there is paint protection film on this car. All done locally in the best shop in NYC. I need to take better pictures of the nose.







The tint goes all the way to the beveled edges.

Have the suspensions settle at all? That does look way too high

they definitely left the shipping blocks in the suspension. they use them to reduce suspension travel during shipment so the car is more secure, sometimes the idiot dealers forget to remove them upon delivery

There was spacers left in the front passenger wheel. I only have just over 100 miles. I guess around 1,000 it should be where it will permanently sit. Most of my driving is smooth highway.
