i think the roadster is by far bmw's best looking car. the bangle treatment has been applied pretty well here.

"It took a long time for the design to grow on me. The pre-2006 cars really did not have enough of an aggressive look. I think that the M bumpers fix that pretty well. Now I am in love with the lines. Washing it is nearly orgasmic ."

i have been accused of groping my car instead of washing it :D

I prefer the coupe for looks, but I rate being able to put the top down even higher on the scales of wants/desires. I would have a hard time living without a convertible after having a few.

Nice. And I agree with you about Tire Rack - it's awesome! I live about 20 miles away from their Indiana place and love it. I'm there at least once a season to purchase stuff. I always see the owner out in the service bays. Always - even on weekends! He's usually directing the cars and running orders around - nothing fancy. He's a great guy, and they're a great company to deal with.

excellent choice of wheels, your first two were two steps below the Ronal Bear rims.

What wheels are #3? They look like LM-R reps besides the fact they are 1 piece.. Almost any BBS style wheel looks great on any BMW, good choice, :thumbsup:

Rial Nogaros. They are pretty close to LMs at 1/4 the price and within 1-2 lbs of the BBS wheels. :p
