Well done. A drop will certainly "complete the look".

Nice bro. What brand/level of tint did you go with? I usually get the minimum on the windshield but go pretty dark on the rest.

No offense bud but that's not for me.
Although your car looks great, I would pull my hair out if I had even the slightest steering vibration on a g11/12.
If I was modding my f80 and found a wiggle here and there I would have not minded - but on a 7er?
I pick up my car on Thursday and I bought a 7 for the smoothness.
Here is SA if one even changes the wheel BMW SA will cancel the cars motor plan - so if anything goes wrong you on your own.
Each they own I guess.

It actually runs just as smooth as stock I can't even notice a difference. Putting on wheels does not void anything here. The dealers here will even put aftermarket wheels on for you. This car is still very comfortable to drive on long trips. With that said you don't see a lot of modified 7s so I wanted to do something different, coming from my modded f10 m5 this thing is nothing.

In South Africa you actually pay for the "motor plan" which is built into the price of the vehicle. This is a 5yr/100 000km plan that covers everything on the car except for fuel and tires - but you have to keep the car the way it left the factory.
So here the guys usually start the modding after the plan has been expired.

Are those black kidney grills the active ones for the 7? BMW has not released the full black Msport grills for the 7 with the active cooling as of yet. I have the M-sport ones but they are not full black.

They are the m sport ones. When I had the m sport trunk spoiler professionally painted I had them painted also.

Missing my M5, might put this on lease swap. $1100 a month. 1200 miles a month. 30 months left.

It's rides exactly the same as the 21's that came on the car. Suspension is fine I just wish there was a lowering kit for it. There isn't any rubbing of any kind on sport plus when the suspension is at its lowest point.
