D2-AUTOSPORT PROJECT 745li

Hey guys, I don't think I have ever posted pics of our project 745LI that we are working on. The car was purchased in January of 2006 and to date has a AUTO-COUTURE Aero kit, KW Variant 3 Coilovers, 22" MODULARE M2 Wheels, RPM Racing Valvetronic Exhaust (100% custom crafted), and AIB fiberoptic Halo bulbs.

To date this is the only BMW 7series in the US with the AUTO-COUTURE Aero package, and we actually had the wheels crafted, load tested and DOT approved specifically for this car by MODULARE NA. Prior to our request they had never done the M2 in 22".

The overall premise of this project was to do something different than the everyday 7series with 22" multispoke Asanti's and a AC Schnitzer kit (I swear you see so many, its like seeing a stock car). Also the 7 is a busy looking car already so we didnt want to do the even busier HAMANN. In my humble opinion the car needed to be "calmed down" and now it looks alot more uniform.

I am well aware that this is not a BMW forum, I just wanted to share something a little different and a new wheel, hope you guys don't mind.

Here are the stats on the wheels

MODULARE M2 - 3PC FORGED
CHROME FINISH (Face & Lip)
HUBCENTRIC Fitment
22x9.5 Front (3.5" lip with bbk clearance)
22x11 Rear (5.0" lip with bbk clearance)
NO FENDER MODIFICATIONS, NO RUBBING!

For more info, or a quote on MODULARE Wheels, email sales@d2autosport.com

A FEW PICS FROM HIN Atlantic City, I hope you guys like
