Very nicely done. Looks mean but classy. I haven't really seen many of the 8 Series Gran Coupe, that I like, but I would consider owning one set up the way yours is. Maybe with the exception of the tires. I'd be scared to hit any little bump in the road with anything less than 30's on there. Still scarred from the damage that my rims took when I hit a manhole cover about 15 years ago in my GS300. (Blew out my tires and dented my Lowenharts)

Could we get a close up of the emblems?

Also is the grille paint matched to the car?

Yes I'm waiting on the rest of the images from the photographer, and the grille is the standard grille just ordered the carbon fiber one!

Agree. Car is super sexy, but not enough rubber on those tires for a GT car.

Always amazed by what such few can afford in abundance. Not only the top of the line model with everything on it but also all this after market hardware that's gotta add a hefty price.

Agreed as that is a "stick in the eye" comment that is uncalled for. I for one enjoy reading about what others have done to mod their 8-series cars. This runs the gamut from small dollar cosmetics in the way of painted front reflectors to lowering, exhaust, etc. That said I do not concern myself with how the owner of the car is paying for all of it as that is their financial decision. I have my own vice that is outside of the car world and I sleep soundly at night regardless of the ridiculous amount of money spent on it. To each their own as to how one chooses to spend their money in pursuit of their individual happiness.

Love this! 100% agree. I enjoy reading all about the purchases and mods and don't think twice about questioning the financial ability/justification of the owners. I also have my vices, although for me it is my car

Bubbling this one back up--what suspension mod/manufacturer did you use? I'm on H&Rs and I'd say we're about identical from our respective photos.
