Yours with the diamond cut break up the black, the wheels you get with M40i and shadow line are solid gloss black

Me neither, I’d class them as silver but on the M40i if you specify the shadowline pack it also comes with all black wheels :thumbsup:

I personally prefer the SFR with the shadowline pack because I prefer the black grilles etc.
I would like to see Lavazza's wheels on my car and vice versa, just to see how both cars would look.

I think both sets of wheels look great.
I'd like to have the red mirror caps on mine.

Lavazza,

I'd like to have the red mirror caps on mine.

You could use the reg number of a SFR with red mirror caps and order a set ^ :wink:

    I wouldn't say that Z4 has overwhelming tech. It's quite simple comparing to VAG cars cra***. You still have buttons to switch off things you don't like. I'm the only driver, so have no issues with two profiles.

    One of the main reasons I hunted down a First Edition M40i was because it was the only way I could get the combination of black grills, mirrors and trims (shadowline options) but without the black wheels. Think the combo looks really good with the Frozen Orange paint.
