2018 440i Gran Coupe. 25 months of evolution.

I can finally say that the exterior (maybe the whole car) is done.

I'm at the stage where adding more stuff will look cheesy. I'm sure rge yellow drl and yellow calipers are too much for some tastes.

Carbon front lip, carbon kidney grille, carbon light brows, hood is tiny carbon vinyl wrap, wing vents are carbon, side skirt extensions are carbon, rear high kick spoiler, rear diffuser & msport exhaust tips are carbon.

Paint has been painstaking corrected and ceramic coated. The pics don't do the paintwork justice.

I have the dynamic autowerx turbo upgrade with ds25 fuel pump and flex analyzer by dorch and tuned by odin. Over 600whp so the performance backs up the looks.

I personally think this car is one of the nicest f36 out there. What do you guys think?

I used to be such a huge fan of copper wheels with gray paint, but I've gotten older and done a complete 180.
Now I'm very pro-contrast haha

Ha. I've changed quite a few things with this one that I've grown put of as time goes on. I'm finding myself liking bright alloy wheels again. I think black has been done to death also. I've had so many cars with black wheels

Stunning! Sits on those wheels so, so well...

Have you thought about retrofitting the rear Brembo brakes as well; think that'd finish the overall look IMO?

Thanks! Yes I have been watching rear brembo calipers for a long time and just never took the plunge. They would indeed look great but I was put off because painting the calipers properly was such a pain to do and I'd have to spray them yellow to match the fronts.

It's crazy that the latest G series M cars even don't have the brembo rears now. A very bad decision by BMW.imho.

So much lighter than the cast calipers if I see them for cheap enough I will buy as I don't plan to sell this car
