The brakes are on! Will post nicer photos once i have them. Realise that the blue is not very obvious, need to be under good sunlight to be able to see the caliper clearly

Good job. Does the MPBK make any noises or squeal?

So far dont have, the noise comes after a while of using it or right after installation?

I am curious on the MPBK, did the rotors come in box packaging just like if you bought the rotors separately from BMW (with part number on the box, etc.) and did the pads come that way as well?

Beautiful build.

Finally, knee pads installed and also found myself a custom made carbon fibre gear knob cover

So, I've been lurking around this forum since I placed order for my Mineral White Metallic F15 xDrive40e in September 2017. This forum helps with my decision a lot, all the photos and ideas. Thanks guys. Here is the mod list:

Wheels Setup:

Had a friend helped me with a proper photoshoot and video, will post it up once they are ready, the photos below are from my iPhone 7.

What's the offset on your 22x10.5 front wheels? I bought some "OEM Style" Replica 612M Wheels

21x10.5 Front Wheels 45 mm offset and 285/35/21 tires
21x11.5 Rear Wheels 38 mm offset 325/30/21 tires

Not sure if they'll fit right in the front without spacers..

Really interested in the steering wheel trim you have.

On RGSports site he only has the other style.

Could you please point me to how you purchased?

Thanks

I am just a PM away.

I don't have every single item listed, especially on low margin BMW OEM parts.
BMW change their prices every month, so easier to just PM and asking for a quote.

I'm so sorry for the late reply (1 year later lmaoooo). My HRE wheel offset is 10.5J et30 (front) and 10.5J et10 (rear).

Finally decided to get the M Performance CF side mirror cover installed some months ago
