yes it's X6M Hybrid OEM hood, I got burned on aftermarket Hamann last month as you probably remember. Didn't we all at one time

Yes, Kimo's car (parts) will live on in our cars (hearts)

Haha I got the paint matched parts from Kimo as well. That's funny.

I ordered mine before Kimo started parting out, other ways we would have to fight for parts

[boneca]

gloss black emblem is on as well as keyhole delete mod (I had issues with last one, had to call AAA to get my car unlocked, probably my fault, my advice is to reinstall the mechanism inside the cover when switching) my car started to act funny first time around.
its a little tricky to install the keyhole delete with mechanism but possible took me awhile to figure it out...
thx to Kimo for moral support during heart breaking times today
last pic in the car wash, never took pic inside the car wash before

Wow now you got me scared of the keyhole thing...I got that from Kimo as well but not sure if I want to attempt that now. Plus I was thinking it may not be a good idea in general if your battery ever dies and you need to use that or something. Maybe I will put that part on sale I doubt there will be any takers though the colour isn't exactly common.

Kimo said he will do me a DIY so after I review that I will make the decision of if I want to tackle it or not.

Was bored the other day and decided to do a plasti dip DIY on the rims. Pretty happy with the results tbh, did the black base coat with graphite metalizer and it looks pretty neat I think.

I didn't mean to scar anybody with keyhole delete mod! For some reason the easiest mods for me sometimes turning out to be not so easy. In any case if u'll decide to go ahead with this mod, let me know and I'll explain what to do!

pics of the wheels?

Haha I'll see once kimo sends me diy instructions and see how hard/easy it is.

Here is what the car looks with the wheels

Haha yup I love the black rims had them powder coated on my e92 m3 as well and was going for black this time too. But last minute decided to do some graphite metallizer Which gives it a grey'ish shine at the end which I think is a little different and awesome.

Just for fun my m3, miss it sometimes..it was a one of one paint in North America too

I don't, but I'm constantly surrounded by them. If I was in sales I would be waxing lyrical on how ksa needs my wheels asap for the benefit of M kind. How the lighter weight and better grip of getting the best street tires out there on the beast would make every drive better. How the look is classy yet aggressive with no spacers needed. How picking any finish is awesome etc etc etc...

I would have jumped on that or the ones you're selling but look what just came in the mail today.

Tbh I like the single fin ones better and that's what I had initially ordered but the seller said they were sold out and if they could send these that were worth more. I couldn't be hassled so I was like whatever. Let's see how they look after they go on.

Lol while I love the rims I simply do not have a death wish as if I spent that much on the car I am sure the wife would beat the hell out of me at our 1st anniversary in a month lol.
