Talking She's here!!!! Midnight JCW!

So ordered on August 10th and she was delivered to the local Mini this morning, getting PDI'd tomorrow morning and I pick her up at 10am! 7 1/2 weeks...not too shabby. More pics to follow with a full detail.

A set of BBS wheels would make that car.
you can go up to a 19x8 in this wheel

I think I would need a spacer for those. That size only comes et50....but funny enough, those wheels are in my top 5!

you will need a spacer if going to the Jcw pro coilovers. As long as you just do spring they will clear the brakes.

Good to know.

It just so happens that one of the local tuner shops by me actually have that exact wheel, in that exact size in stock and on sale! So you never know...

Hey NYXF56JCW,
I'm also going receive my F55 soon. Was thinking of taking to a detailer to get the car detailed the proper way. Just wondering if you are in the Toronto area.

Been a busy 24 hours of ownership. Did a full decontamination of the clear including Iron X, clay bar, full polish, Gtechniq C1 Lacquer and a coat of sealant! Also installed a shorty antenna, carbon front and rear emblem, gas door and door handle overlays as well as blacked out the tail/headlight and grill trim. Check the pics!
