That red is a bit flashy for my liking but boy the end result is sweet
By the way is it the OEM CF interior?
How does the akrapovic sound on a Bimma?

It is OEM CF interior that comes as an option for the 2014 M5 -- but mine is a 2013. The akra + AMS downpipes (catted) is brutal when I'm on it but very tame when I'm just cruising. Just the way I like it!

Holy moly! Sweet ride! As flashy as the red color scheme may be, it works! It goes well with the tail lights and badging.

Those HREs are to die for!

LOVE the blue on black. Good for you for having the stones to do the red wheels, if you like me that's awesome.

Was close to an E63S this past weekend and still may pull the trigger but the new M5 really has gotten my attn, and I thought id never be back w BMW.

Holy shyt. Hype killed Pert and hijacked his car.

Hahahaaaaa Rock I love you!!!! Yeah it's funny because I think the black wheels "get lost" in the blue of the car --- IN PERSON. But it's obvious that nothing about these newest wheels are subtle or blend in. But I really dig them!

Looks great, and all the mods really make the M5 look better (not a fan of this generation M5, especially the front end. Not aggressive enough IMO)

Fu....ing hell. I just spent the past 5 minutes looking and then trying to compile a few words to express what I was thinking... but I failed miserably.

Beautiful creation.

Out of curiosity, do you have any 'real world' shots? You know... iPhone pictures, or just basic amateur photography shots?

Well I think the wheels are dumb. Looks like captain America's m5. Oh well. No need to get butt hurt. To me it just ruins the clean look. In the bay area most of the cars rolling around here with flashy red or gold wheels are stupid acuras and Hondas and such.

are the wheels painted red or anodized? they look painted in the close up wheel pic and anodized in the far. Either way it's pretty loud but i'd rock it. I've seen a few gt3-rs's with this color combo

I appreciate your audacity and daring to be different but seeing as you put it out there for comment, these are a bit too much for me, not as bad as Dome's red wheels on his white C63 though!

Should have copped those Concept-3 wheels! Damn that's where I went wrong! You still have them Forgestars available? Down here in San Diego we got some Hondas and Acuras that could use some of those wheels. Heard their quality is unmatched!

Absolutely, they are not for everyone! And I am cool with that. No offense taken. And considering the stable of cars you have and the mods you've done to them, your opinion definitely holds a lot more weight with me than some cat rolling around on Concept-3 wheels on a 09 C63.
