My New Purchase - BMW 745Li

TXSTYLE and I caught the BMW fever.

I got rid of the GS a little while ago and have been saving up ever since to get a 745Li. Sterling Gray/Gray. I love this car. So much room in the back seats.

Here's the old GS. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-2nd-gen-1998-2005/80728-jdm-bodykit-pics.html

I just received my wheels also. Thanks to Derrick at D2-AUSTOSPORT for his great customer service.

I haven't even received my plates yet and already starting the mods.

Here's what I have installed so far....

--- Intrax lowering springs - 1.4" F/R

--- Zimmerman rotors F/R

--- Axxis Delux Plus brake pads F/R

--- Braided Stainless Steel brake lines F/R

--- Formula One ceramic window tint 35% all around

--- Auto Couture Lative. Brushed aluminum faces with chrome lips.

22" x 9.5" - 265/30/22 Pirelli PZero Nero

22" x 11" - 295/25/22 Pirelli PZero Nero

I'll be adding the AC Schnitzer full body kit soon.

Tommy

99% of the time I think aftermarket wheels look like crap. But those wheels, on your car, look pretty damn nice.

Congrats!

Lookin reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal good my man! Someone who has actually beatin me to the modding punch LOL! Although... I'm still on the fence with wheels?
I will be installing new Angel Eyes and HID fogs next week.
Very nice setup bro.

Tell me about the lowering? I understand it is a b1tch! I love the current ride and hate to thing what a drop with rubberband tires is going to do...

Luv the car and the wheel style but the offset seems really low. The wheels are sticking out past the fender. That's not classy imo. Sweet ride though.

Those wheels are sticking out? Not from what I could see...
If you think those are aggressive, you would HATE VIP style. In my opinion, those are actually pretty conservative. I guess it's a matter of perspective.

Back on topic: congrats on the new Whip! Love the wheel/tire combo- very classy with the brushed centers & chromed outers.
