Ok! I'm not going to lie. That car painted in that color with those options looks amazing.

or is the "adaptive" a different term / does a different thing. thanks.

BTW - your car looks great. I am shopping for a used F80 and when I test drove a new M340i... i was torn.. they both have pros/cons...but when I see nicely modified M340i's its such a hard call. Those wheels look great.. my dealer had a Dravit Gray M340i with those wheels - it looks amazing.

congrats! car looks EXCELLENT!

Hey, yeah it actually does change the stiffness of the ride.
In adaptive mode it changes the dampeners in real time.

I love this 😍😍😍

Alan l. · 06-10-2020, 03:43 PM

Car looks awesome. One of the best wheels ever designed by BMW. Watch how many aftermarket companies will start copying this design now...

Beautiful

SP glass would suit it.

F20MAW73 · 06-10-2020, 04:05 PM

The wheels look spot on for the car.

Lovely car, good choice.

PARTS@STBMW · 06-10-2020, 04:35 PM

Stunning!

jsgel · 06-10-2020, 05:02 PM

Very nice wheels

upsidedownfunnel · 06-10-2020, 05:04 PM

IMO, I've already become accustomed to the G20 styling and it is by far better looking than the F30. It took longer for me to prefer the F30 over the E90.

sinopath · 06-10-2020, 05:22 PM

Those wheels look so nice!

Auricom · 06-10-2020, 05:35 PM

Stunning! My new favorite BMW grey in addition to Donington, Sterling, Pure Metal Silver and Frozen Cashmere Silver.

Congrats and

on the wheel selection.

6ixSpd · 06-10-2020, 05:47 PM

So clean and a great color combo!

Funny you say that. I found this photo online when I was deciding on the colour.

It's like you can read my mind

New photos soon with a few more MP goodies.

projekt7 · 06-10-2020, 06:06 PM

Thanks for all kind words, everyone.

I ordered the car with the black 19s, they look pretty good against Oxide Grey - nice contrast. But since I wanted that clean OEM+ look, I went with the silver/grey 20" 795Ms over the black version, and am super happy I did.

Just added a few more MP bits to complete the look. Here's a small teaser. More photos coming soon!

OP, what was the final MSRP for your vehicle? How much was the paint?

PS. Still think your car is one of the best vehicles to appear on the home page.
