Default SEMA Project: my 335i, something new

With my background in JDM VIP sedans, every car I work on has a little touch of that style. Here is the latest. It is not a finished project by a long shot but it is what it is already

I just saw this at e90post; it's nice because it's so different. If only I didn't need snows I could have gone 380mm bbk instead of 355mm. Of course yours is what, 450mm?

Looks HOT! Nice and clean set up. You wouldn't need an M3...yet. Those brakes are awesome. It's almost too clean to drive on.
