Thanks for sharing! Wallpaper worthy pictures! They let you run in the rain with your windows up?

How are your APEX wheels holding up? Are you still liking them for track work? My e60 is slightly heavier, but I've toyed about following your lead with 18" for the track.

Would like to know the same thing, the wheels look GREAT on the M6!

Thanks! The wheels are holding up great! I have Nitto NT01's on there now, and they are super sticky! They just keep on sticking in the turns.
I would consider 18x10 or 18x10.5 squared on an e60 just for the extra contact patch since they weigh a little more. Or maybe go 18x9.5 with a 285/35 squared which is what i may do next round

Nice pictures. Can't wait to see the video. If you track often I'd like to talk to you about the possibility of overlaying real-time data onto your videos.

How are the NT01s in the rain? I'm considering them for next season. Also do you have front camber plates? The 2nd to last picture has tons of front wheel roll, I can see you were pushing it hard there.

Any more info? I track 6+ days a year, next one being 3 weeks away. Is there anything we can use for E39s?
