Does anyone have a photo or a black m-sport with black or dark grey 648s? I’m thinking of having my wheels power coated, but would like to see how it will look before take the plunge.

I'm very picky when it's come to putting rims on all the 7s I've had.
I have read somewhere that the 629 wheels are cast. That would be a downside if true.

Your car looks great, I love the front bumper splitter, is it carbon fiber? Where did you purchase it? Could you please post pictures from the front as well as rear bumper? Thanks

Thanks! They are carbon fiber. I actually shopped around everywhere and even had a few local shops quote me for a custom lip kit. I decided to take the risk and try out a company called protuning.lv which mostly has their products on eBay. Custom kits were gunna cost me $4-5k so hence the reason I took the chance on eBay. Pros are that I had zero fitment issues with the kit, cons is that I have the exterior lighting and the side skirts do block the ones on the stock side skirt and not as aggressive as I wanted. Note rear were just add ons so doesn't cover the whole bumper only the sides. Here's a couple more pictures.

I have a 2018.. just went with these bad boys. 22's. I had the stock M package 20's but I wanted black high glass as mine is currently being wrapped in Satin. I love these, have to drive safer as they are super low profiles.

You could definitely use a little drop since the front sits so high

Nice! Runflats or not? Also, any issues with potholes?

Yes, run-flat tires. Bought the whole 21" wheel set from my local BMW dealer - therefore the rubber is BMW-approved (Pirelli PZero 4 run flat with the obligatory * marking)

So far - knock on wood - no issues with pot holes, and no complaints about comfort. But it must be said, I prefer my cars to be on the stiff side, rather than on the plushy-wallowy-luxo-barge side. Hence, what I consider to be good comfort others might find unacceptable in a 7er. A matter of personal preference

I put looks and driving feel over the comfort of my butt

edit: I put 10mm spacers on all 4 corners. I guess, I could go more aggressive with 15mm up-front. These wheels really add a lot of character to this car. Love them

[truth be told, however, even on those wheels and even with suspension set to "sport" setting, my car is by far more wallowy than my brothers G3x five series on 20"]

I'm generally not a fan of the whole blacked out theme.
However, those are some sweet shoes!
