Oh wow...killer...can't wait to see that! Definitely going to be a squeeeeeze

Much better with the 50 year badges!

The only good thing about my car being delayed was that I got to add the 50 year badges, as they were unable to be added in my build, cuz it wasn't on the configurator when I finalized my order. Small things but made me that much more excited.

Looks amazing on yours though!

absolutely! I removed it from my order because I thought the asymmetry might bother me. I was wrong, it looks great! I really want high quality black/white roundels with gloss black surrounds, but I can't find anything like that. IND makes really nice gloss black surround painted OEM badges, which are great. I'm working up the courage to remove the rear badge before I order them lol

Removing the rear badge isn't a big deal at all.

Having 295/30/20 tires installed on the rear today (had a puncture in one tire). They’ll obviously fit fine on the wheels, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed on inner fender clearance 😬

Well? Did they fit? Photos?

And a practical question. On my recent road trip I hit a pothole and blew a front tire. BMW Roadside assistance saved the day, but loading the car on and off the flatbed was super tight as the flat front tire lowered the car just that much more and made it touch and go to back the car onto the sled and then to reverse the process at the dealer.

With your lowered car and added front end bits, how do you manage a flat bed trip?

 

[toosteeley]

Yup, fits fine. Just tucks inside the inner fender 😊

The tow truck guy had wooden ramps that did the trick. There was about 1 centimeter to spare

A couple more pics of the fitment with 295/30/20:

I want to see how those look full from the back... I imagine they look incredibly beefy and cool!

 

[toosteeley]

Not easy getting a good representative shot from the rear for some reason (likely an issue with the photographer), but I’ll try…

 

[toosteeley]

So hard getting a good angle to really show how wide it looks, but the tires are definitely beefy!

You got the angle and the shot, you just need more light!
Either bounce some light under there with a fill card, or get the car out of the garage! 😉

Wow! Love it...bet that looks killer from behind on the highway!

 

[Bimmerscrub]

No matter how hard I try, I can't capture the rear perfectly either. Makes me think I need wider tires and new deeper rims (an excuse to purchase another set). Seems you got the right fitting though

Add two small flashlights and here it is...

OK! I love that look! Well done.

 

[toosteeley]

Looks wider in person 😉

 

[i4.phil]

Another way is walk/step further away the back. Then use the 10X zoom on the camera/app and it'll look more proportional/wider. And still need 2 flashlights to the wheels to keep our i4talk inmates happy.

 

[toosteeley]

Great lighting today to show off the frozen purple metallic 🙂

Your car is SO gorgeous, @toosteeley! Just lovely. And I love those wheels, too!
