2012 BMW 750 Li with Street Performance Brake Pads and H&R Lowering Springs

This 7-Series was recently purchased and within the very same week, delivered to us for some upgrades. The owner wanted better street stopping power and a better overall look so we fitted him with some new brake pads, H&R Lowering springs, some cool Vossen wheels and some new BMW emblems to complete the first steps of his new car.



Parts Installed:
BMW Street Performance Brake Pads
BMW 760Li/750Li xDrive (F02) Lowering Springs (Cars With Self-Leveling) by H&R
VVS CV3
Caliper Painting



Our BMW project came to us looking like this:

Very silver and very high. So we went right to work, giving it some new style, starting with the springs.

H&R Spring Kit


Stock



Old versus new. It's so much fun seeing the difference.


Installed




Hood and Trunk Emblems

Stock Emblems



New blacked out BMW emblems




Wheels, Pads and Brake Caliper Painting

The Silver Before (even the calipers are silver!)


The Black and Silver After


Part of what makes cars, especially BMWs, so awesome is that it doesn't take a whole lot to customize them. They're gorgeous out of the factory but with things as small as wheels and some lowering springs, you can make them truly yours in no time.

Love it! Great job! Exactly what I want to do once I get mine...

But TBH I'm not liking the wheels...maybe something lighter would have been a better choice?

I'm thinking of something silver'ish in 21" and concave like the Vossen CV3's...

Either way, great job guys!!!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

The wheels are kind of difficult to see in the pictures, the black is a nice aggressive look, but the wheels are available with silver machine faces as well!

need to upgrade your brakes to look like this

no these are not available, I had them custom made since no one makes brakes for the car other than Brembo's 4k front and 3k rear set, so I had these made instead for the magazine shoot. They were just put on when we took these pics and that is why they are not broken in (showing the uneven wear, it still hadnt wore off the coating etc). Now after 500 miles, they look amazing, i can take more pics if interested.

The calipers on this car were painted matte black to better suit the black wheels. The factory silver did not blend well.

We offer custom caliper painting in any color for local clients. We also can make custom decals for the calipers as well.

I was speaking about having dimple and slotted rotors, not the calipers. Brembo calipers i mentioned was so that you can run their rotors. This to my knowledge is the only set of rotors made for the F02 BMW so far.

Yeah, we are shooting to get a set of Brembo's on that car to match the ones on his E92 M3.
