Thanks! Was trying to go a classier route with things and ended up on Alpina's doorstep.

Your build has an Alpina B5 +++ feel to it.

Thank you as always! Have always loved Alpina's. It's just a bummer on what few Alpina's BMW lets come over here. I did mention them as my inspiration earlier in the thread as a hint.

Technically though these are only 19 spokes, step lips, flat flange, 3 inch lip front, and 3.5 inch lip rear. HRE's stone finish silver face, high polish step lips, and satin black barrels. They are bolted to the car with project kics titanium lug bolts.

Thanks! That would be cool. Maybe when the shoot comes out they will post some. I don't post on social media though because job.

Not much space in Hawaii. Makes it dramatic...

Thanks! Ceramic brakes is key here for that very reason.

Caught a glimpse of you yesterday as you turned off Kamehameha Highway and I was waiting at the light. Wasn't really paying attention and was kind of zoning out so didn't notice until you were making the turn. Lol. Car looks good!

Thought maybe that was you. I normally keep an eye out for your YAS, but no more YAS so wasn't sure. Now I know.

Small update here. Had an alignment yesterday to dial in the fitment. The company next to the shop was closed so took the opportunity to take a few pics. Real photo shoot is scheduled for this weekend so hopefully you folks won't have to deal with my iPhone teaser pics for much longer.

Wheel Details:

HRE Classic 309s - Stone silver face, high polish lips, satin black barrels
21 x 10.5 front, 3 inch step flat flange lip
21 x 11.5 rear, 3.5 inch step flat flange lip

Best Build I've seen hands down on the F90 platform.

Please post more pics!!!!!

agree with others. I think this is my favorite f90 build to date. Normally heavily modded cars don't appeal much to me but this has stayed soooooo clean.

I personally would not cover up that beautiful paint job. You've done such a brilliant job painting the parts you have added and exposing the carbon parts in such a tasteful way that this kinda cheapens the look with essentially overpriced stickers and makes the front end really really busy looking. Rest. . . . gorgeous!!!!

Thanks for the feedback!

My thought process behind these were to use them to balance out the rear cf and help draw the eye down to the cf line on the 3D kit. The rear has the cf spoiler, cf lp frame, and the exposed diffuser. Front just had the kidney surrounds and small line of the 3D lip.

Now when you look in person the eye goes from kidneys to the pizzas to the cf line. Something about having the pizzas closer to the cf line made the cf line easier for people to notice. They then can follow the line around the car and up the back to the cf spoiler and then the roof.

Seems to be working from the in person feedback I got today from the customers at the shop and folks at the gas station on my way home. I do agree that in a pic kinda looks a little bit like something. 👍

That makes sense! Love this ride man and agree with others on it being one of the best builds!!!!

[m5 guy]

Thank you sir! Sometimes I think maybe I put too much thought into this. Little details add up I suppose. 🤣
