Hey can’t answer you’re question but I’m not far from Henley if you want to get a few cars together sometime!

My dad's got a caravan in Hurley so we go down for the weekend sometimes as it's an easy trip from Hillingdon into the smoke. Also excellent for early morning flights from Heathrow

Became a member of the Cannockwolf club. I know its not for everyone but I love the monochromatic paint look. When I first saw the car I knew I wanted to paint the rockers but thanks to Cannonockwolf I realized the look would not be complete unless the rear side panels were done also. So thank you Cannockwolf. You are a true visionary.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE DOTTED LINES ARE ON THE PHOTOS

One of the reasons I ordered my car in Black Sapphire Metallic.

Body color matching like you did to your car should be an option from BMW - that and more color options.

i also have the genuine ones ,look great in the dark tbh.had the knock off on last f22 no issues in 3 years though.

Yes seen a lot of people complain the knock offs fade bad also.

I still don't understand the black lower pieces .

Maybe the designers thought it shows off the cars lines better .... or makes it look sleaker ?

I know one thing: I have never seen a G87 owner paint their rockers black.

Here in Florida it’s a secondary offense so they have to pull you over for a moving violation such a speeding expired registration and then tack on the tint

LOL! I moved to Miami two years ago. You can literally do anything you want in Miami. It’s been a crazy experience.

I maybe in the minority, but I do like the contrast of the gloss black rockers / side skirts and BG body.
