These headlights look so much better than the W213. Bias? Maybe.

Car looks good as is! Only thing I would do is change spoiler to black/CF.

so far I tinted and removed the resonators.

Future mods very soon

black/carbon rear spoiler and roof spoiler
front lip
lowering springs
spacers
20" wheels
tune
grill blackout

I also lease an E43 and I love this generation but the E43 Tech is amazing.

I'm not trying to be funny but how is the power of the e43 compared to the e63

some articles claimed the e43 was 95% of the e63 for less money, lol

How about having the fenders wet sanded? Careful with repaint you could have fenders that don't quite match doors and hood. If you gonna consider paint protection film in the future it can not be applied to repaint.

Correction. Wet sanding is the last resort to paint but prior to both those I would try removing a less harsh paint removal process:

DA Polishing
Rotary Polishing

thats what I did with my car when I had that scratch ... used cutting and rubbing compound after light wet sanding ... came out great

also would use iron-x first to get rid of any metal contaminants

A good detailer can get out lots more without wet sanding ...

I had to check for myself. Was at the dealer today and asked their parts guy. They quoted me $2900 for ONE FRONT WHEEL! So a set of the 5 spokers is ~10% of the new price of the car. Whatever.

i have the 5 double spoke. They are forged and very light. Expensive yes but they look very good and feel very responsive. I wouldn’t put the lug cover on them . They look much sporty with them off
