431 my lucky number?? **ADDITIONAL PHOTOS**

Congrats. Love the color! Looks like summer tires on those still. Living in the great white North, it looks like you may have to switch them to snows PDQ. Love the tow hook mount. Not sure if dealer offer that to you. My dealer told me to get one when I took delivery....go figure.

431 ? That’s chicken sh*t. I waited 550 days.

lol, you are more right than you know...forecast is for 5-10cm of snow tonight! Doesn't much matter as this car won't see the snow...now parked in my garage. As for wheels/tires...you can't tell from the pic, but I lost the tire lottery and was delivered with Contis. Doesn't matter to be honest as I have had these sitting in my living room for 6 months...will pair up with the Mich SC2s

Should go nicely with these...hope to have them installed next week.

This must be the fastest build thread I’ve seen on this forum. 👍

Yep..U.S. Millworks makes a very fine tow hook license plate mount...had one on our former F31. One suggestion...once you place your license plate on the U.S. Millworks mount, ensure the plate does not over-lap the edge of the mount....or any car wash could "grab the license edge" and deform your license plate.

Ask me how I know this. My solution was to use a BMWCCA license plate frame mounted over the license plate to protect / cover the exposed plate edge.

Other alternative..is the get the quick release U.S. Millworks version and "remember" to remove it before using the car wash. It's that "remember" thing that got me...I didn't

I might go with the carbonio. Thoughts?

i never considered a front lip for this car but this may have turned me, beautiful and congrats

I went into my local deal on the Thursday and told them the spec I wanted, the car was ready for collection a week later. Full spec except for the sun roof. I had the full carbon body kit and MPE fitted as well.

My SA was kind enough to send me a sneak preview. Apparently there were some curious onlookers when they backed it into the bay (thanks to MPE+SportCat combo)...as Mr. Burns from the Simpsons would say..."Excellent."

NOW IN MY POSSESSION - MORE PICS...and OMG this thing is LOUD!!

awesome plate. ill look out for you. my plate is non vanity but im a black LCI

Nothing wrong with adding comments, it's just that you should generally add your own pics to your own thread and/or to a global thread, rather than another individual's thread (

I made the same little etiquette blunder when I was new

).

Booked my Xpel and tint install today - pics to follow - in line behind another guy who also likes blue...took a quick picture to compare.

Did some coding...

And took a few other quick ones on the way home...
