Thanks Blackburry! I appreciate you taking the time to share.
What do you guys think of these Advan F7 wheels? Is putting JDM wheels on a Euro car looked down upon? I think they look pretty good... Also, is it sporting an Vorsteiner decklid or a different brand? Anyone know about the ARQRAY exhaust brand? the blue tips look nice... but does it put out good performance?

I don't know why, but I'm not a fan of those Advan wheels. I guess what really attracts me to the HRE's is that I like that mesh CSL wheel look on BMW's. That's just my opinion, otherwise those rims are nice it just looks a little too baller for me. I like sporty/classy wheels. You know those wheels you look at and say "Now THOSE should have came with the car"

Yeah, I like the Ericsson trunk lid a lot too. I think it's a love it or hate it thing though. Very mixed responses about the ericsson lid from other threads i read.
