Shiza wroteThat particular wheel has definitely been redone - it has the tri-color stitching which was not original to the M Performance wheel. It looks to be a fatter grip as wellI've had all 3 factory wheels in my car. The M performance, M performance electronic, and the standard oem wheel.

Luckily on-coming traffic saw what was going on;and made room for me!! Crazy people these days on motorcycles !!! Be safe everyone and Happy motoring. I'm just glad I am able to share what happen from a scary experience ... Boy was my blood boiling!!! I was very close to chasing the idiot down and report him to the police but realize that my kids are waiting for dear old dad at home and decided to let it go.
something like this?
btw, get a dashcam if you don't already have one
it will protect you from a lot of potential trouble
say that bike ended up crashing into you or somehow you end up running over the guy due to his mistake ... you may still get sued
protect yourself with dashcam footage
GotV8? wroteI replaced the WeatherTech emblem with these. They also offer BMW, M3, or M Performance variants: https://www.etsy.com/listing/868238011/gel-domed-emblem-sticker-decal-insert?variation0=1539373609I got tired of cleaning them out after my second set, just went with durable Weather tech Matts for my car. Do miss the M logo though.

B8bydesign wroteDammit! I had no idea that I needed these domed M stickers. I wonder if they fit the BMW branded weatherTech liners.GotV8? wroteI replaced the WeatherTech emblem with these.

Wrapped some dash trim in real Alcantara to replace that horribly warped BMW carbon fiber trim
Couple more raw pics. It's beer:30 now.
Took it to get state inspected. It passed.

Shiza is 100% right in his comments
B8bydesign wroteHad Coby before also, great product and solid quality. The OEM wheel with the alcantara wrapped around it is def an OEM+ feel.GotV8? wroteI replaced the WeatherTech emblem with these.

roastbeef wroteNice photos, and town!Quick weekend trip to sequoia and I took the scenic route.
Rain or shine cars and coffee
roastbeef wroteThat's a big a$$ M-tree!Couple more raw pics. It's beer:30 now.
Swapped the track wheels on to mix things up.
Wrapped up an AVIN Android 10 install. Required fabrication to accommodate GPS plug. No half measures.
Could have used a Y-cable splitter to use the stock in-car GPS antennas. Cleaner and faster lock.
Drove back from sequoia today.
roastbeef wroteDamn I miss sequoia, hopefully I can get something together and go camping there again. Such a beautiful place..Drove back from sequoia today.
