I wonder if this is the most modded e92 on the planet?

Looking great as always, are you still thinking about changing the wheels to black?

Mod 93 - Dinan intake mk 2

The original dinan intake fitted with a CF/Kevlar blend which had a yellow tint. It really stood out under the hood, so swapped it out with a new black CF dinan intake to get a better colour match
