It’s the “Brembo red” color. If I can’t get Brembo brakes, then at least the color

The front are Brembo already. So, you have Brembo. Just the OE version.

Wheels on. Fitment looks good. Drop exactly how I wanted it. I’ll make a new thread when this build is finished.

Really looking good, Alex - would enjoy watching a video of that one on a track at high speed! Here's a rough idea how it would look if you could also delete the shiny chrome from the badges as well (I'm really pleased I did mine some weeks ago).

Thanks for the suggestion, Max. Indeed, this is what I am planning to do. All the plastic vents will be replaced by their CF M Performance counterparts and the shiny chrome will be blacked out. Once this build is ready, I’ll definitely make some nice photos and videos!

Your wheels are the nicest aftermarket solution I've seen to date (and I'm not usually a fan of grey, but damn...) congrats on a gorgeous F97! I have them but haven't installed them yet (IND carbon fiber front and rear bmw emblems). They'd look really nice on your color.

My wife likes/wants/insists on everything white, I like dark colors. Imagine how our home looks like My room, your room...

Quite the contrast! They say opposites attract.

Yes, they have them in 22 as well. All their EVO R series wheels are beautiful. I had really hard time deciding between those.

That'll look amazing. Here are a few of my images. Interestingly, the new X5M and X6M follow this reasoning by removing the shiny chrome lettering when one moves up to the Competition line from the base M models. Not sure if they got the idea from us, but hoping they transition to this design concept for the X3M and X4M as well with future iterations.

My custom steering wheel came in. Once again, I reached out to r33_RGSport Ben with my wishlist and, a few weeks later, he sent me this AT prototype. Ben has basically co-designed this build. When my build is ready, I will tell you some crazy stories about his personalized customer service (so rare in these days).
