We purchased this car last week. Haven't had a lot of seat time but the little I have had has been nothing but enjoyable. Very happy with the car so far.

Thanks. Hopefully she (the Mrs.) allows me to continue to "road test" her car on a regular basis. I'm thinking I should have bought one for myself too.

BRG w/Blackband Body Kit

I have been lurking on this forum for months and have completed the first stage of modifications to my recently delivered BRG JCW. Here are a few photos. I started with the Blackband JCW Body Kit, M7 Short antenna, H&R Springs and rear Sway Bar, and 17 Enkei Racing GTC01 HB's w/Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport XL's. I have a JCW Alcantara Steering wheel and other interior extras going on this week. This thing has all the bells and whistles of my last 3-series, but way more fun and practical to boot. Have at it!

Many thanks to Chris Yuseco at South Bay Mini!

Thanks guys ... I also got the Recaro leather bucket seats in as well.

The lip is the OEM Challenge Car lip ... they are pretty rare. I happened to find it used on the marketplace and bought it right away. Had my body shop clean it up and color match it.

Wanted to wait until I got the stripes added to post pictures.
I think it looks kinda snappy.. Considering red mirror caps to go with the calipers and the red JCW logo. Welcome your opinion on that..

Looks great. I like the idea of red mirror caps. And for a fine detail add the union jack flag valve stem covers on your wheels.

Love the stripes! I haven't seen it around! Where you hiding that bad boy and what took you so long?! Did they mess up and had to build you another one ?

Congrats!

I love your blue with white top/mirrors and white stripes. I would not change a thing and think the red mirror caps will distract from the overall look.

Mellow Yellow

Got my JCW a week ago (had a 2004 JCW before this with lots of mods), so far i'm lovin' it! My friend Chad took the pics. Did a blackout on most of the chrome bits yesterday (except the beltline and door handles).
The car only has 780 miles so can't wait until the break-in period is over. next mod will be suspension.
