Very nice F26 with killer paint!!! Congrats! All you need is to put her on 20s and take lots of pics. Just my 2 cents.

frankrs, what rims and tires are those? I need to get some winter tires + rims for mine. Also considering black rims for the winter.

Very sexy ride, by the way. Congratulations.

30d, waiting for the MPPK to be delivered/installed.

I was supposed to install quad exhaust from Supersprint, but they were unfortunately not able to deliver. My dealer in Norway then had to initiate Plan B, a custom built exhaust system consisting of among others X5 endpipes.

Looks very nice your plan "B"

I'm waiting for the AC Schnitzer 4 quad exhaust system for my 35d (should be delivered about february/march)

Thank you for your kind feedback - much appreciated it

I've been a little nervous that I've gone a little too far in the modification, but when I got the pictures of the car today, I think it looks reasonably good

The car is original black sapphire metallic, black Nevada leather and Fineline anthracite fine-wood trim. I did not dare to paint the car as it is on the pictures, therefore the solution was frosted charcoral foil instead. Roof, rails and all shiny chrome detailing I've foiled frosted black. The boys who did the job also foiled the BMW badge on the hood. Must take a closer look at that detail before I decide if it works

The car is otherwise equipped with pretty much everything that is possible to order. Don't think I have left out very much

I have also ordered all available M Performance exterior. Also considered M Performance interior, but ordered only the pedal set. Think it was a smart decision, at least for the wallet ...

After a very long wait I get delivered the car tomorrow. Planning then to take the car on a long trip up to the Norwegian mountains this weekend to really test the baby in real winter conditions. Will possibly miss tires with spikes but the car will generally be driven in the lowlands where spikes are not preferable

frankrs, awsome colour and exhausts!

The only thing you need to do in the spring - apart from the 310:s is - lower it.

Foil; NOK 25k

Exhaust; I really don't know - it was part of the whole package from my dealer, but less expensive than the quad exhaust from Supersprint...

First I have to see how the car looks with the 310 before I decide to do it - but it is an interesting input...
