This looks so incredible!
Where did you get the wheels and what are the specs?

F15 fitment?

What springs did you go with to lower? Also, what size wheels?

New brakes. I wish I could just replace pads/rotors... would be a 2 hour job. I always forget how long doing this takes.

Another option is the sea sucker, even more minimalistic but your setup is clean and allows for a box too.

Looks great. Assuming you spray painted those calipers?

The dust shields look way too big for your rotors. Is that just me?

No but can be forged though.

Yeah, sprayed. VHT high temp burnt copper under Duplicolor high temp clear. This is the 5th Bimmer I've done with this combo. Addicted to it...

I'm guessing here, but possibly the F15 uses the same dust shields across the 35i, 50i, and 35d? Those are the factory shields and factory size discs.

I agree they look big compared to the rotors, but what are you gonna do? LOL, I was looking at BBKs for awhile on this vehicle but there are just too many other things I'd rather do... like solar system and a 2 additional car garage add-on. So I'm saving up for those.

Can confirm that dust shields on the rear axle anyway are the same between 35i/50i. Burnt copper looks great by the way. Also like that you painted the rattle clip black. Nice contrast.
