Lol funny title. Everything in this car is pretty much what majority of us consider to be a build and what majority get done.

Background
This was my first 'true' project car/build. I've never really had a 'hands-on' background with cars before & this was something I wanted to learn on and just have fun with. Took delivery back in July of last year and have slowly been adding things on over the past year.

- Wheels: HRE R101 LW, 20x9.5 front ET:+23, 20x10.5 rear ET:+39

- Suspension: KW v3 Coilovers
- Front + rear reflector delete
- Full Akrapovic exhaust (cat back + mid pipes + downpipes)
- Xpel Ultimate Plus paint protection film full front/hood/rocker panels/trunk/partial roof
- 15% tint sides & rear, 50% windshield
- Carbon fiber mirror caps
- 3M carbon fiber roof wrap
- Bavgruppe Designs red angel eyes + switchback
- Bavgruppe Designs RGB halo headlights
- Custom black painted headlights
- Bimmercode mappings (seatbelt chime, yellow hazard light delete, etc.)
- Full RW Carbon aero
- 3D style front lip
- RWS side skirts
- Kholen style rear diffuser

Bold title. Apparently a "true" build means customizing your headlights, I don't see anything different from other member's builds. Amazing car none the less.

I think he's being tongue-in-cheek with that comment. As mentioned in his initial post, he's building it himself so it's a "true" build to him personally.

Besides, what's true build these days anyways? Let's encourage him instead.

To the OP, that's a clean build...keep it up!

That's my point exactly, a build is whatever the owner deems it based on their personal preference and finances, there is no definition.

I think a title like" Anyone can slap on wheels & suspension & call it a build nowadays" seems pretty direct and arrogant IMO. With a title like that I was expecting roll cage, turbo upgrade, intercooler, interior delete, something unique and new, not window tint.

Funny enough the title was a jab at my car as when you boil it down it's really just wheels + suspension + exhaust.

If I was too dense to pick up on the sarcasm, my apologies. I think myself and several others in the replies took it literal, which is easy to do. Beautiful car either way.
