I already modified my build too. It really doesn’t matter what I did as it is just sitting in the order bank, but there are probably more modifications to come once an allocation has been received.

You know it! Though that might be coming to an abrupt end by spring 2023.

Kudos for him experiencing a Carrera T for an extended period of time.

Hey SCA check this out. This guy on the forum took the fast and furious AW G87 with all of the BMW performance parts and got rid of most of them.

I actually like the black inserts on the front and back bumpers. It does something to break up, I don’t know, all of the continuous color on the car. It also brings all of the blackness in the center of the front bumper together.

It would have been more cool if the back inserts did not have racing lines in them. They help hide the hideous reflector/camera insert.

What do you think?

I am also noticing the reason I don’t like the side profile is it’s missing the shoulder character line that has been on almost all BMW’s.

Not really. I was referring to the line along the side.

It does have one but not nearly as exaggerated. Adds to the plainness of the side.
