IMO, MRR-GT-1's look really cheap, BBS LM's are a much better looking mesh style wheel. May be a bit expensive but spending the right amount of money once and be happy. Those M5 wheels would be perfect

Little plug . . . Check out BMWvsMBZ.com, new site started up by Mike Small forum right now but it is growing

hmm, I'm always 50/50 on the MRR wheels, at times it looks good, but at times, it looks cheap.

One thing I don't like about LMs, is they look one size smaller than they are.

I am currently leaning towards those M6 wheels. But I do hope to get them in gloss black!

Nick, we might need to re-route the tubes to the lower passenger foglight area, its more spacious and further away from the engine!

Since the V6s have two spark plugs in each cyl. (total of 12), as said on the coilpacks, theres a "location A" and "location B" spark plug.

Still looks as amazing as ever! Nice work Advan...

Can I make a request...When you get time, can you do some shots of your rear spoiler? I'm quite interested in that style (its pretty subtle, especially black on black). I'd also be interested to see how the spoiler 'overhangs' the trunk line and flows onto the lights at each end.

Still got the best looking coupe I've seen!

I thought about doing that a while back, but decided against it. Afraid that I'll hit a big puddle of water and hydro lock the motor.

Plus, to be honest, anything short of boring out my motor and adding a S/C it will be a dog.

That is what I'm always scared of. you can always add one of those shield things. But I doubt thats much help. well, I was also thinking to adding a Y-section towards the end of the intake, to install two cones instead of one, Maybe I'll do that. But that defeats the whole purpose of my renntech airbox lolll
