Thats my favorite M! I love it! Nice plate too!



are you running a staggered set up? If so, how does it drive?

Car looks awesome, but you really should've gone with a little more sidewall. It would look so much more aggressive. It would've been worth it to roll your fenders if they didn't come cut or to just modify your liners to make them fit.



Great job!

That ride looks awesome!! It turned out great. What engine modifications does it have?

That car made me throw up in my pants a little. Absolutely fantastic.

Long time no see! Good to see you're doing well and taking care of the M.

I love the wheels! Did the sealant add any gloss to them? (Assuming the are indeed HREs) HRE's black forged/machined finish looks awesome with their slightly matte appearance.



Also, what AA goodies do you have? I like the exhaust



The paint looks perfect! Good job. I love how the Royale looks on Cosmos Black.

Great job!

thanks! but my car is a lease so i did not wan to roll the fenders. i used to have a 305 tire in the back but had to downsize to 295 because it was rubbing. and with the offset in the front i cant go any wider than 245 or it will rub on the shock strut during hard cornering.

thanks! it has all the AA mods except the Supercharger
