Hello Decving and Chaddy,

I see you guys both have red calipers, do you both have MPBBK installed ?

If so, how is it over the standard blue caliper setup ?

Do you know if there was any coding to be done during the install to recalibrate ABS etc ?

Decving - which 19" conti's did you go for and how are you finding them compared to Mich PSS ?

Thanks,

PD

Nice to see some cross spoke design wheels in a bright finish. I am not so fond of dark wheels.

Had them put on by the dealer before delivery so didn't drive on the standard ones to compare. My guess would be that they're close to the same. The MP ones have slightly larger rotors which would probably add a little more endurance.

Went ContiForceContact, they are more sticky than the M PSS but not sure if this is because they're wider....and new hahaha...mine has definitely lost some bite.

Hmm - all black on black - not so sure. If any colour change perhaps get the centres black or gunmetal and leave rim/barrel of wheel silver

However, as-is looks fine IMHO.

On holiday in France The Gendarmerie (French police) also liked the car as they took some photos





Cold start: http://videos-c-14.ak.instagram.com/...86938582_n.mp4

H&R 25mm drop, 10mm front 12mm rear spacers, black mirror caps, BMW MPE, kidney grills, striping and door sill foil. Had the car for 2 months now and loving it

Next on the list are either gloss black painted OEM wheels (keep the 18" and some level of ride quality) or OZ Legerra HLT in 19"... Still in big doubt!

Why being serious if I may, black wheels brings you eyes back to the main body of the car instead of the wheels.

Nice location. Some of those pictures have great potential, but they were looking a bit strange on my screen, regarding black level and colour balance. What camera equipment did you use here?
