I swapped the black cube out for the Myrtle trim before delivery.

Got the Eibach springs from Rennsport USA. US$220 plus lots in shipping but still cheaper than what I was quoted locally (~$550). Installed for about $100.

My last car was black and it looked amazing when it was clean, polished and scratch free. However that only lasted for the first 10 minutes after washing it. I got so tired of washing it twice a week that I vowed to never own a black (or any dark color) car again.

No offense to all you black car owners.....but unless you have a slave to wash it, you will spend countless hours obsessing over the dirt it shows.

As always, just my $0.02......
tell me about it, my dad has a 740iL and it is a PAIN when it comes to car care. I wash it, extremely nicely, and after like a couple of days IT LOOKS TERRIBLE, but then again the car really looks good in black...

punchy501, did someone steal your side vents??

I see it's aparently an M but i dont see any M features, was that a package or something?
This car doesn't have a M3 badge and is not an M3 so it therefore does not have side vents.

M badge is for M Tech Aerodynamic Kit comprising of front dam, side skirts, rear skirt and rear spoiler. Also came with M sports steering wheel, M sports suspension and M alloy wheels (have since been replaced with other OEM rims).

Did you special request it or what?? Or did you just do it all on your own?

None the less, your car looks super sweet.

Punchy, where did you get those type 71's? What size are they? Do you mind me asking what they cost? Those are my favorite wheels...by far. Thinking of having the curb rash repaired on my type 44's & then having them powedercoated a graphite color, but I'd rather just go with 71's.
