chrome looks fine if you are not concerned on scratches due to washing or gravels.
how much does the brake kit set cost as compared to brembo in sin?

brembos will only be available nearer to March next year if you want a e89 specific model.

Rotora are developing a e89 model this moment, a 6pot front 4pot rear for usd5500. I think a brembo should be 7k+ or more over here.

Erm, shouldnt your car have 306hp standard? Instead of 256hp.

Or is that BHP at the engine, not at the wheels?

EDIT: never mind, found it on wikipedia

If that is WHP, the Torque improvement is crazy!!!

Over 60% improvement in Torque over stock map.

welbo, got a jb3 for your wife's z4 yet ? I run map 7 daily with no issues.

and yes teague AMX you are right its wheel hp n tq. Once I decided on my exhaust and dps, I will run a custom tune on top of the jb3 for better AF and consistent boost numbers.

The BBS RE-V rims are in!! thanks to a friend who managed to sidestep the tricky japanese custom side, I got it installed this morning , together with a fresh new set of rubbers, Michelin PS2













1st impressions. It looks more gorgeous in real life than in the pics. The 1 size up in tire size from stock fits the rims perfectly. More noteworthy is the act that even though I have yet to run in the tires, the comfort level of these tires are amazing. Road noise is noticeablely quieter from the advan sports I was using, which itself was a big jump in performance and comfort from the stock run flats.

I think the Chrome look better but are less practical as they won't look as pristine after a day of driving. Can you Clear bra brakes?

i think the chrome looks great.
if i were to change the brake kit, i would choose other color of caliper. Red seems kind of old school but that's just my opinion, don't flame me.

kudos to mav for helping me with the photoshop. amazing work considering the lousy angle of my photo.

still in a dilemma which color to get. the chrome colour will cost couple hundred more.

Captain if you find out if the BBk can be clear bra let me know!
