Pics of my GC after new mods

I finally took some pics of my 640i Xdrive GC M sport after the mods. It has BC Forged wheels, H&R springs, HAMANN front lip, custom painted M6 grills and M Performance carbon fiber rear spoiler. Sorry about the bad quality pics (I took it with my iPhone). Let me know what you guys think.

Beautiful car... I like the wheels and the spoiler. Front lop looks great too and color combo is sweet.

Also, when I had my '11 550 m sport, I painted the rear diffuser sapphire black to match paint instead of the grey standard. It looked a lot better to me.

Thank you! I plan on getting a Vorstiener carbon fiber diffuser in a couple of weeks with meisterschaft exhaust. So no painting.

Looks great, is that red or brown interior? Not a big fan of the wheels, would look even better lowered a bit.

And.. Please take off the ///M emblem

I have already removed the badges after these pics were taken. (The guy at the body shop thought it would be a good idea to put one on, I didn't like it). As far as lowering it even more I drive this in a daily bases, it's pretty low as it is (these pics are a bad representation of that). I'm happy with the wheels that are on the car as I see a lot of the GCs with 21 and 22 inch wheel which in my opinion ruins the true beauty of the car. Plus slamming the car like cheap imports isn't my style either, if I wanted to do that I would've bought a Subaru. Thanks for your opinion!

Oh yes I purchased the lip from a place called Autohaus located in the west coast. Just wanted you to know even though it was an original Hamann lip I still had issues with the fitment which the body shop had to adjust with trimming.

Really like it would like to put one on my vehicle.

Can you tell me the off-set your are running on your wheels? Is it ET 30 at the front and ET-40 at the rear?

No I what stated earlier was correct, it was a custom offset for the car which was measured and built specifically for my car. So ET20 rear and ET 35 front.

for the rear 20*11 et 20. according to the offset calc., it would have 49mm extension out towards the wheel well. Did you roll the fender and/or experience any rubbing ? If not, did you do any mod to the suspension such as camber adjustment ? That is a very aggressive offset for the rear.

Yes it was the most I can get out of those wheels without being unsafe. The rears are 20x11 with 285 tires. I didn't have to roll fenders because I got 20s and also with 285 tires. So the tires are a little stretch which also helps with clearing the fenders

Here is a pic with it showing the concave with the offset, as you can see that the wheel itself sticks out a little and the tires are inside the wheel well.
