Quick teaser
Picked this up yesterday, after waiting an extra 5 days for the alloys to be stripped back, , powder coated M Comp Black, re faced/ diamond cut. 2 stage acrylic coated, with an extra tint on final pass. Oh and the BMW Individual added in black, for dramatic effect. Wanted to pull the chrome back on the car, but keep it looking slick, plus didn’t want to go all black as the 759 is a stunning wheel and felt that going all black doesn’t do it justice.
Just a couple of teaser picks for now until I can get chance to do some proper shots. Photos genuinely don’t do this justice! Story of the wheels link below for those that are interested. https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...8#post24825658 Last edited by TK - 421; 05-24-2019 at 01:35 AM.. |

Been a long time lurker of the forums.
Took delivery of mine about 7 weeks ago (upgraded from an LCI F10) and couldn't be happier. Honestly, my initial impression of the G30 when launched left me feeling a tad underwhelmed with the design changes (gen-to-gen). Having now owned one for the last 7 weeks, I must say that the differences in terms of refinement (NVH, sound insulation) and the improvements in cabin (main display screen resolution) are definitely noticeable and well worth the upgrade. Bluestone is definitely a great colour. Took this after filling up at the local petrol station and couldn't help admire (my own car) |

As for the front splitter/side skirts, I bought them from a firm here in Singapore that specialise in them. |

Good news about the 759i wheels - the Individual detailing comes standard on those wheels. It is super next level stuff. I love finding the spoke on mine. You have to really know what to look for to see it, but once you notice it, it puts a smile on your face.

Will definitely get some more pics done and put up on here soon. The ‘individual ‘ lettering on the standard wheel is more grey, as mentioned because I wanted to tint the lacquer plus switching the bi colour to BMW comp black, I thought the lettering would look better in black, which it does. The photos of these wheels really don’t do them justice. From some angles they look black but as you look you start to see the edges appear. Really make such a different. And with the reduced chrome edges on the wheels and car it looks more masculine and less executive which was my main goal. I’ll get on it and get some pics done. |
