I gotta figure a way to get the lower part (where the ///M is) to match the titanium trim. I think that would look really cool..any ideas...

The wheel was in the mid 400.00 range...plus the hub (needed for the paddle shifters to be wired into the tranny) It took a little over 30 minutes to do this mod...The trickiest part is getting the upper and lower trim pieces off the steering column. I have done the airbag enough times now so that it is not a big deal.

Running the wires from the new hub down through the center console was a little tough too..but not to big of a deal. Connect the blue and purple connectors on the transmission wiring harness and its done. I have it taped in right now..but I will build a nice looking harness to make it look OEM...at some point in time.

Does the 4.6 come with a strut tower brace? How about some interior LEDs for the floor and door sills? :D

I know the perfect addition. I want some of Juans fuzzy dice...:2thumbs:

20 inch 132s are my dream wheel. I really wish BMW would make them OEM. I would really like to keep this all OEM parts. But...those 20" 132s look incredible.
