Thanks guys! The pictures are the main reason I posted, my buddy Johan did an amazing job on these that I wanted to share his skills.
Was a joke.
Everyone keeps talking about wanting to save gas so I was just poking some fun.
Z4 was a lease and did not like it very much at all. So since it was a cheap lease deal, someone took it over. Then I bought this used M3 few months ago. This time its a 6MT.

I don't know how I missed this thread. Love the wheels, but those pictures are AMAZING, especially the second one.

I would have spent a bit less on the wheels and and a bit more on the tires.
Also I don't understand how you have two different tire heights front and rear (265/35 and 285/35)....I am surprised that you don't get an error. My car has the old type FTM (flat tire monitor) that works on the differential of rotation... I am certain that I would have an error!.
I would prefer more traditional BBS-type but that's just me.

2) 285/35 and 265/35 are different widths, same height.
