Love the i6, but makes no sense since I live in the heart of Atlanta and have a very short commute. The N20 has proven to be a powerful and fun little engine in everything smaller than that pig of a 5 series.

Nice job. The N20 is a great engine, there's no need for anything bigger and as a commuter it's a smart move.

What color trim did you go with along with the awesome Coral Red interior?

I got the hexagon and black accents. Not into wood grain. Particularly not for a sporty car.

Thought about another black for the exterior. Think it was Cerran black or something? Had a dark cherry hue to the black. Thought it would have looked good with the red, but it was time to stop the bleeding of my wallet. :-)

Congrats! What colors/features you put on the F32?

It has:

M Sport
Sapphire Black
Coral Red Interior
Tech Pack

Driver Assist Pack (No more threat of curb rash)
Sport Auto
Enhanced Bluetooth
19' Wheels

As soon as I get her back home the RFTs come off and get thrown in the garage (likely Goodyears, which suck!)

Putting on Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the staggered set up.

Didn't opt for the HK auto because the stock system is ok for me when I crank a bit and adjust EQ on my iPod.

///M brakes can't go with the wheels I got (checked and even with a call to BMW before build)

No manual due to the wife.

Actually the car will probably come with Pirelli P Zeros.. They do not suck! My F32 did.

I'd be happy with the Pirelli summer rubber more, but still want to drop the RFTs.

If the F32 sucked, what are you in now? Sorry, I'm on my iPhone app.

I must say that I find this to be rather humorous. Unless it's been modded they all look the same.........

White over Beige No-line and Mineral Grey over Coral Red M-Sport do not look the same. The M-Sport feels more like a Special Edition side-by-side.

With all due respect, the day I build a car that looks like the suspension collapsed over the wheels is the day I will shoot myself.

FWIW the current ride height is 4"

Apples and oranges - This looks pretty much perfect right out of the box- but not even close to my GC which has almost 2.5" clearance on the back wheels- Add 2.5" of clearance front and back to this car and it would detract from its (perfect as it is) looks. No one is talking about lowering their cars so the wheels have to toe out (or in) like a teenager's 1985 ricer.

Didn't notice the smiley? Or just having a bad day? I was poking fun at the kiddies who seem to think that any car where you can see the top of the tires is too high.
