While I don't think any of their wheel designs are appealing to my own tastes, that weight savings is massive. To clarify, don't think they look bad, just like more aggressive designs.

Congrats on the new shoes!

I dig it big time. I actually screenshotted your post on FB last night when I was lit so I wouldn't forget to look at it again LOL Any specific reason why you decided to stay staggered? I've been debating going square with my summer set, my winters are square and I like that I can rotate them if need be. Also the feel of the car was not too bad either.

I like the look of the staggered tires/wheels. Beefy tires are just cool.
Even our winters are staggered since they're on OEM wheels.
I'm sure Andrew could put together a nice square wheel setup for you.
I always preferred square setups for my track cars and will likely do that on the next one.

Thanks Max. I have more accurate wheel weights on my phone and will verify what they are.
You did guess correct on the tire sizes/series.

Placed my order from ORT Motorsport today for a set of forged wheels! Went with the design pictured here but mine will be finished in brushed black. I’m keeping the 21s as I’m not chasing max weight savings or softer ride.

Andrew is fantastic and answered all my questions about this over the last two weeks. Props to him for helping out his customers.

Choosing a wheel color was tough in Brooklyn grey. I wanted something different than gloss or satin black. Hoping I’ll be happy with my choice!

ORT Motorsport Forged TC-9R
21x9.5 +19
21x10.5 +33
Finished in brushed black

FYI these are not my wheels and they are not the same finish I chose…just sharing the style that I went with.

So I got NEW KEYS!!

Because my dumbass left my key on top
Of my car not once but TWICE!!

And then ended up having to buy new keychains of course.

That’s all I got for now…

Why on earth are you putting your key on the roof?

Looking forward to seeing post installation! I've already prepped your entry for the Members' List. I'll edit out the missing data if/when available.

I changed my oil today with the OEM TPT 0W-30 and a Hengst filter. Nothing super exciting or glamorous, but it always feels gratifying to change my oil.

Did you remove the airbox for oil filter change?

Technically not needed, but could make life easier. I was able to do it without removing it.

Not the best edit but I think the 'cat eyes' would look pretty awesome on our platform

damn that does look good.

tbh the pre-lci has such 'classic' style BMW face that any changes won't change its handsome looks.

I did. Next time, I plan to try it without removing it, but it is really easy to remove. Took maybe 10 minutes at most.

I always thought the headlights had started to look a bit dated now. The only question for me now is where to get this headlight light design
