Pic request: Silbergrau M roadster with silver CSL wheels

Post by Mangozac » Sat Dec 09, 2017 12:18 am

I don't know if my google skills are failing me or what but I can't find any decent resolution photos of a Silbergrau M roadster with silver CSL style wheels. I have an idea I want to Photoshop first to see how it will work ;)

Can anybody help me out for some internet points? Bonus points if they're 19"!

Got to love how many my old Z4M with CSLs comes up on google! :rofl:

Not a roady but gives you a good idea. The CSLs look better on the coupe imo but still look great in the roady.

Plenty in my album

Strange how your view changes over time. I used to think the front breaks were huge. Now they look very every day. :o

Ah, maybe yeah. Didn’t get a good look as you went past, but looking at those pics now... very nice. :thumbsup:

Tell me about it! Yours seems to be the only car that comes up no matter what I google :rofl:

I already have CSL reps on my roadster but I want to try something with the colour. Have Photoshopped a coupe photo and I think it looks good but want to try it on a roadster photo now to confirm :thumbsup:

Thanks but I'd already found some non-M pics. Would rather the M for the most accurate depiction.

Very nice! Is there any chance you have a higher resolution shot I can grab?

A lot of them are unfortunately smartphone pics. I've lots of pictures of other people cars that I take at shows with an SLR but not many of my own. :headbang:

I thought you guys who helped me out would like to see what I was playing at.

I've been looking for something to make the otherwise fairly inconspicuous Silbergrau Zed have a bit more visual pop. I've always been a fan of the M4 GTS wheels with the two tone colour: a silver face and orange inner. Orange is such a perfect complimentary colour to silver grey, so I thought maybe that could work on a Z4 with CSL wheels:

The verdict: I do love the wheels painted like that but alas I feel this is simply too wild for the E85/E86. If I had a grey F8x I'd do it in a heartbeat!

Ultimately, looking at Tom's photos above, I think his solution is really nice. I can either have my CSL replicas repainted or Im inclined to keep my eyes peeled on the used wheel market from a set of actual lightweight CSLs or quality replicas (like BBS). While I'm inclined to do the calipers orange like Tom, I'll look into some other other colours such as blue. I do know a guy with a set of F82 calipers for sale but I'm not so keen on paying that much :/
