I have the exact opposite opinion. The gold wheels are what caught my eye. I remember the first time I saw a set of mesh style wheels....they were made by BBS and they were mounted on a new 930 Porsche turbo (Guards Red).They were gold and the most awesome wheels I had ever seen at the time.

All the OP needs are BMW center caps and it's all good!

Instead of just deleting posts the admin might consider editing them... *sigh*

Nice car! The rear spoiler does not really flow with the lines of the car in my opinion but other than that it looks great.

Smile More pix of different color wheels and angles

Thanks for all you guys honest and warmest comments

Both silver and gold wheels look great on white, so do Black, gun metal, pink, blue, green etc........ If you don't like gold, you are too old!!

Kumho tires are great quality, nothing short on quality vs value, compare to all other brands, except for the length of the history of the brand, the country it was made, etc. Don't get me wrong, I love Michelins, but hey you lucky boys in US tire rack you can get the 19" Michelins for less than $200 each, while we have to pay double here in China. This F30 is my daily and occasionally light track duites, I don't need very sticky rubber. When i m hungry for some serious speed and controls? I have other sports cars in my garage to feed me....Kumho to Michelins? like Samsung smart phones vs iPhone? We pay the price of a Porsche 911 in US to get only a BMW F30 328 here in china.

The rear spoiler matches the lines of the car pretty well (IMO), it is different from the other existing design out there, it gives your F30 a bit more edgy attitude. Check out some other pix here in this threads.

The Carbon roof is made of REAL carbon fiber under vacuum process, it is thin and consistent and smooth, so that it can covers your entire roof, if i don't tell you where to look for, you probably think it is a real replacement of carbon roof panel.

The rear diffuser and front lip fit on the regular 328 or 335 bumper, non M-tech bumpers. Different angle of pix attached.

All these are just released in China, it will be available soon in USA. For those who PM me, I will reply later for the details.

Wheel offset, sorry, not to be disclosed here.....and with this setup, they do clear the fender wells.

The wheels are made with original center cap size, the original BMW caps can be used, but i think the blue and white logo is out of place with these nice wheels and keeping the same color caps would make the car much cleaner IMO.

Clean Ride my friend. One of the cleanest ones I have seen. The gold looks good, the rims look good, quad exhaust looks good, diffuser, everything. Great work.

And you said all these Aspec parts will be out in the United States soon?

To answer your question as per title - I think that is ALOT of carbon fibre work going on. Liking the wheels. but kinda looks like the front rakes higher than the rear. Making the front lips look tilted rather than reaching the ground.

oh my... this's luv @ 1st sight, wow! absolutely luv it
NOT a fan of non m-sport bumper at all, but this lip really enhances it n makes it more appealin, much better than 3ddesign lip imo.
unsure bout that rear diff tho...


suggestion: paint side rails/strips on roof black

Very Nice

Kudos to you, sir, for taking what is a VERY expensive vehicle in your part of the world and investing more into it to make it something truly special. If I may, a few comments:
1. White 3 Series BMW's have been racing on gold wheels since BMW started campaigning the 320i back in the 70's. Love the retro-race look on the new F30!
2. I really like the carbon roof, kidneys, mirrors and especially the lip. Best lip I've seen on an F30. Do they make one for the M-Sport?
3. Stanced perfectly
4. Enjoy your car!

Great observation! I actually thought exactly the same after I did the GPS antenna in black and should have done the rails in black as well. It will be my next minor enhancement soon.
