Thanks Josh. One evening when my car was being built I was surfing the BMW Germany website and I saw the stripes for the first time. I got the part numbers and asked one of my parts guys to see if he could get them. When I found out he could I then emailed a friend at BMWNA to see if I could persuade them to apply the stripes at the port by the factory body/paint techs, and successfully got them to do it before the car shipped. That makes them covered by the factory warranty. Following some negative feedback from a FB post, I actually panicked at one point, even tried to put the kabosh on the whole deal, and it was too late. Then when another friend at the VDC sent me pics during the install I was stoked. Very often passers by give me the thumb's up and comment on the stripes. The final step was getting the wheels powder coated for Bimmerfest. I was never a big fan of black wheel but I thought it need it for contrast. Black wheels are an amazing solution for dealing with brake dust. I haven't cleaned them since they were installed, and you would never know if you saw it...
