Congrats!

Wheels look lovely. This is the best GXX I’ve seen yet. That rolling shot in particular is incredible.

I too am hung up on the front and rear of these but you’ve done great work here sir. Gives me hope for the G87.

Haha… thanks. I do know what I want and what not

After what feels like years of styling torture by BMW this is a breath of fresh air. Really nice work, OP!

Magnificent car!

giacMeister · 04-28-2022, 01:45 AM

This looks so good... Congrats!

MPSdriver · 04-28-2022, 02:49 AM

Stunning car, congrats

The color looks so vibrant, did you do PPF or ceramic coating?

///M TOWN · 04-28-2022, 03:11 AM

I'd tint the front windows and remove the ///m badges off of both fenders…

Unfortunately tinting windows is illegal in Belgium, so an absolute no go. Only the back windows may have a tint (not the drivers side window or windshield), but only when it is stock from the factory on your car.
The tint you see is stock from bmw, in Europe we can order this (In the US you can't get factory tint on order I think.!?)

No ppf planned (to damn expensive

)
Ceramic coating will come very soon... for the time being it's just well maintained and waxed.

In North America you have to tint the fronts

Interesting you can't tint the fronts there

yeah, always interesting there are so many differences in regulation for Europe compared to US.

Short sightedness

Tinted film is also a valuable safety layer from shattering glass to the sun's uv rays

Imran@Evolve · 04-28-2022, 06:52 AM

That looks great!

M2PDX · 04-28-2022, 08:40 AM

Damn! That looks ... A W E S O M E !

Lowering the car and painting the wheels makes a huge difference.

Thanks for sharing.

MoHey1693 · 04-28-2022, 01:41 PM

Lovely!! 😍😍

Luv2 · 04-28-2022, 02:17 PM

Congrats !! I love the stance and the wheels. You have given me some ideas for mine. Enjoy your new ride...

Nismo G · 04-28-2022, 05:38 PM

Beautifully thought out! Amazing colors

todorjelev · 04-28-2022, 07:10 PM

Is this a manual seat adjustment on the passenger side? Beautiful car!

jojobee · 04-28-2022, 08:33 PM

Great photography, awesome overall.

Correct, these are the manual seats, both on passenger and driver side. In Europe, the electric ones are optional.

hutchsoclutch · 05-03-2022, 08:12 PM

Drop. Dead. Gorgeous.

Stance/proportions look even more on-point. I didn't think stock with ZTK was sub-par at all but this has taken it to the perfect level. Enjoy the car!

I'm definitely interested in adding the CF rear spoiler but probably won't change anything else. The CF might look okay against my Brooklyn Grey or maybe not. Hard to say until I see it in person. The gloss black with TNM is downright villainous.
