Exactly. The fitment (offset in particular) doesn't look right. Maybe the car just needed to be transported from one location to another.

I notice the black one has the BMW logo missing off the hood too.

lol quality issue already? j/k it's a test car, anything happens.

but yeah, i have seen both the m5 and m6 in person with the "stock" wheels, the setup is much much more favorable and the brake proportion is much better. although this wheel looks pretty good as i said before, i hope the final one is something different

Clearly a sign of how fast this thing is, the roundel has been blown right off! The wheels at the autoshow were much nicer.

I like the look of the new M3... I think the reason those two didn't have the CF roof was because of the sunroof. If it has the sunroof it doesn't come with the CF roof. I can't wait to see them off the roads.

Not the best of pictures, but I think it looks much better here. Look, production wheels folks! And yes, this seems to have a CF roof. Sunroof = No CF roof.

Thanks OC 335i - those wheels look a LOT better, and offset out to the fender edges.

And CF roof -

Car is going to be a beast.

Lexus needs to rethink the IS-F.

white is still the best color for this car, other colors = no care
