You can have those - just need to pony up for the M performance parts.

Bright coloured calipers are not to my taste at all.
Agree 100%. Some of the M colors with the blue brakes look terrible. I would not want blue brakes with SO.

I'm not getting the sportbrakes(weight and because 18 inch winterset won't fit) so on trackdays the brakes are getting even bluer than they already are.

HS and blue calipers are colourwise fine or? I'm no Karl Lagerfeld you know.

This AW M2C on the photos: Awesome combo!

Interesting color combo, not my preferred choice but as a look it is really distinguished.

Interestingly, anything you mention here and doesn't fit or connect to the design can be fixed. Just throw many at it.

I would make 788M my winter wheels probably, but the selection of winter tires for a 10" rear wheel is not great. I still like the 2QT better on LBB and BSM, but maybe not on AW.

Hey Guys,I have been on the forums in a few days due to driving and then I was in the mountains. I picked up this beauty on Friday and the car is currently in Denver. Big shout out to @dmboone25 for hooking me up with the dealer and rep. I got to meet him in person on Friday too, great guy.

I have already scheduled my break in service this week. The car has been a blast to drive, this is my first BMW so I am still learning about the car. I haven’t had 5 minutes to myself since Thursday. As soon as I get some time I’ll sit down and write so impressions. Hopefully I can answer some questions if anyone has any. Also, I have a feeling I’ll have one of the first broken in ones in the country so looking forward to doing some aggressive driving and launch control!

Glad to hear you made it home - can't wait to hear of your impressions of the car.

Congrats again, she's a beauty.

The diameter is 19' - I believe they are the same exact dimensions as the OG M2's 437Ms, but a little heavier - I don't know all the precise info though.

Very nice!

Yeah I hated the 666Ms at first too, but the black ones when clean are perfect

Gotcha, I think the car needs an 18" wheel to be proportionate. I'm sure guys tracking are going down to 18" or even 17's

Well, because we get the big brake kit upgrade standard in the US, I believe that 19 and 20 are the only options - I don't think there are any 18' wheels that clear the discs and calipers...at least not yet...

I don't think there were ever any 17s that cleared the OG M2's brakes either, but I do recall some 18' options for the original brakes.

I am guessing fluid and pad changes will make a world of difference at the track, even for the big brakes on the M2C.

I have to assume BBS, HRE, or even Apex would make an 18" to clear the brakes. I thought Apex had a 18 or 19 that cleared f8x CCB's?

They definitely might make an option - I am just not aware of it.

I believe these discs are the exact same size as the CCBs, and the calipers are the same as well, but someone can correct me if I am wrong.

This colour draws so much attention to that mustache. Wonder when the IND fix will be out.

18s don't clear CCBs and won't clear M2C's larger brakes either due them being the same size. If you look at the F8x CCB or M2C wheel pics, you'll see how close those calipers are to the wheel barrel. So I don't think 18s are physically possible. However, if you have any info that we are not aware of, I'm sure you'll make a lot of F8x owners happy
