Beautiful!

IMO, you should invest in a better looking set of wheels, but they still look good. Congrats. Don't have too much fun.

it came with the standard warranty, 50K/4 years
and we bought the extended maintenance covered 100k/6 years so we wont have to pay a dime for maintenance!

Very very very nice! I wonder how much it would cost to lease one...i'm leaning towards leasing a 335 or buying a used E46 M3...decisions decisions..

And for what its worth, i thought those wheels look better than all of the stock ones i've seen so far. The standard 18's it comes with are so fuckin ugly and i can fist the entire wheel gap.

Picking up that ambient lighting is tough as hell, I've tried it. I am sure there are some pics online though.

It's not nearly this bright even at the brightest setting.


I have mine one click from the brightest and it's just a soft glow.

They are standard on all e92 coupes.

They can be adjusted via the stalk left of the steering wheel, or if you have idrive, in the settings menu. IIRC, there are 5 settings.\

The exterior lighting can be adjusted too, but only the amount of time it stays on. From 0s to 120s.

TS_exspeed - those lights are awesome actually. When you're in a dark parking lot or any non-lit area they really do help find the car and the handles.
