Thank you e90post for all the great advice and discussions. Made many decisions based on what I read here.
Went with the 18" lightweight Enkei T6S rims with Kumho Ecsta PS91 rubber. Installed the Apex wheel stud kit for easier tire changes. The tires are fantastic! Saved 14 lbs weight over the stock 193 rims with runflats.

This is a great car and I'm keeping it for awhile longer. I'm 55, a EE by trade, and I love driving this car, it's so much fun. I had an Audi B6 S4 with a non-resonated Miltek exhaust before this one. Really fun car and sounded wicked but the BMW is faster, handles better, and gets better mileage. But of course, I'm FBO with a BQ e40 tune running 20psi of boost. The VRSF exhaust I put on sounds very good. Cold starts are quite loud.
I made a few mods to the suspension including H&R sport coils, Koni yellow adjustable shocks, M3 front control arms and swaybar and adjustable end-links. Car handles great, turns sharp, soaks up the bumps and doesn't punish you. The Koni's are very well damped.

I did most of the work myself, and as many others have said here, if you can wrench, you will save a lot of money. During the past three years I've replaced the HPFP and the water pump/thermostat, and the OFHG.

Looks great! I'd personally get the front fender reflectors painted body color. Other than that it's great. Are those oem side skirts?

[hockey]

Yes I agree. I need to get those fender reflectors changed. The side skirts have matte black vinyl installed from ebay vendor.
