M-bi, that is one swell (BEAUTIFUL) car, period. Say what they may, that thing must feel good getting inside and then driving. ENJOY. Great taste.

love the interior (my e39 is caramel so i can relate!), think the wheels are a bit big for the car, but are a nice looking style...i'm more of a 'small size' sort of guy....

Frank, you have excellent taste. Azurit black is my favorite individual color, and the golden brown lthr is also very nice. The Hartge pedals add a nice finishing touch.
Your car is fantastic. The color, interior, it's all good. I am not a fan of the 16 spoke wheels, (maybe for cleaning reasons, I don't know ) but your car is all quality and done very nicely.
I don't think anyone asked, how is the ride quality? With the 21's and the lowering springs, it's probably a little tighter. Care to expound on this a little?

I have posted about the ride in another thread, but never mind. The hartge springs give a close to oem ride, much to my pleasant surprise. My wife couldn't even notice any difference at all. Disadvantage is these narrow speed bumps which you usually "take" right under the middle of the car. It then touches the bottom of the car. The front still has enough clearance. After installing the 21 inch rims, the ride again hasn't changed much. It is now between comfort and mid setting. Very acceptable. Turn in is much grisper and somehow feels lighter. Traction has improved quite a bit and the handling has gone up from an 8 to a 9. The car is very neutral until you push her real hard, she then oversteers a bit, but well within my control.
The only thing I can notice is when there is a large dip in the road, when the car body comes down it is less comfortable.
