As promised. Some updated pics of my 7

We finally had a stretch of good weather here in Toronto and I've taken the opportunity to share some update photos of my 7

The latest additions include

- Alpina front lip. Modified and removed the alpina logo.
- 760LI Quad exhaust tips and diffuser.
- AC Schnitzer trunk spoiler
- LED angel eyes
- LED interior bulbs
- BMW OEM chrome mirrors.

I have 22" forged1 seven mesh wheels on order. I will update pics when the wheels arrive and installed. Just can't wait for spring.

No fancy photography here, just my Iphone.

Looks amazing. I much prefer that to the fully blacked-out look. Enjoy!

I'm not a big fan of the all blacked out look. It turns the car into the bat mobile. It should have a nice balance of black and chrome.

I got them from a vendor in Germany based on a referral from a fellow forum member 335fanatic. They do throw error codes on the dash and they are not that bright on sunny days.

To be honest, I've just learned to live with the error code as it doesn't occur all the time. When something better comes along, I'll be sure to change.

seeing how I was one bashing your car a while back, I take that back - your car's look has grown on me and I like it

Thanks bro, I'm just trying to make it unique from any other 7 on the road. Just need to add the wheels and it will be finished. I highly recommended the 760li quad exhaust setup to anyone that wants to change the back end of your 7. It cost me roughly $800, but it was well worth it.

Luckily for me, I have a friend that owns a body shop. I only paid $150.00 to remove the alpina imprint, paint, prime and install. Since I'm in the computer business, I look after all his computers and cameras, so we kinda barter back and forth.

If I didn't already have the 19's you see in the picture, I may consider throwing you an offer. Your rims are definitely much nicer, but it doesn't make any sense buying a third set of wheels, unless I can find a buyer for mine. When my 22's arrive, I will put them up for sale. If I can find a buyer, then maybe we can make a deal. That is if you still have them by then.

Is that the ACS spoiler? I really dig the 760i tailpipes as well. Good job!

Yes sir it is the ACS spoiler. I've looked at all the spoilers on the market and the ACS was the smallest with the lowest profile.

The 760li tail transforms the car into a different beast. Too bad it doesn't increase my horsepower to that of the V12!!!

I have plans to pretty much duplicate the rear of your car, lol (unless I can find a good price on m-sport bumpers).

You will love it. Talk to my man Jason over at Mile one. He will hook you up with what you need.

everyone has an opinion! I've always liked the way they looked on the Audi S series vehicles and even on some of the XJ Jaguar vehicles. That was my inspiration.
