Yep. Fast Intentions, 2.5" pipes with 18" resonators. I ordered it the day after Xmas.

I'm interested to see how it looks since my car doesn't have a spoiler besides the OE chrome duckbill (color matched).

Maybe because you're nearly murdered, it will look fantastic. But I also think this spoiler works better design-wise if the flat, OEM duckbill spoiler is on the car. Although that's probably over-thinking things. I do that a lot. Heck, we all do that a lot.

Nearly murdered, oh come now. BMW offers black window trim and grille as factory options. Now if my wheels were black.....or maybe I'm over thinking "murdered"

I agree that the spoiler might not look right. But it's pretty subtle, and it only cost $74

and then after the debate are now looking at these

F R Brakenetic Premium Slotted Brake Rotors Posi Quiet Ceramic Pads BPK72487 | eBay

No problem Sir! Yeah the price is steep and I guess I was fed up with the stock units. And I will admit, it is a little crazy to spend close to $2k on rotors/pads and stainless lines.

I'm with you on anti drilled and anti made in China. In my reading last night, I also learned that many of the cheaper companies (made in China) start with blanks, then drill them and as a byproduct, they're not balanced.

In for pics once you get the spoiler installed Lego.

I know John has mentioned really liking the 2016 Jaguar F-Type sport and in that spirit, just this week I realized how sweet looking the current BMW M6 Gran Coupe is. To me, the design strikes an awesome balance between muscular and elegant at the same time. Discuss.

Got a question for you guys.

Currently running a 15mm spacer in the rear, with a 45mm stud. (stocks are 30mm). I am thinking about swapping to a 17mm spacer. Think I would be alright adding an extra 2mm (i guess in this case subtracting) on the 45mm studs? I know people have (unsafely) run a 5mm spacer on a 30mm stock stud, but I'm not willing do that. haha.

I'd rather a M5 since last I checked it offered a 6mt.

And the rear single piston sliding caliper is lame.

I'm not a fan of using spacers but that's just me. And Alex why not just get new wheels with the offsets you need to achieve what you want?
