I live in Cleveland. The car should be at IND in the next two weeks. I will PM or post an approximate date you could see (subject to IND policies). It will be there upward of a week as I have several ideas and Andrew and Nate are going to go pretty crazy. Let you know.

Very nice. I'm not bold enough to have a red car that I plan to drive fast. Where I live it screams to the state trooper "hey! watch me go..."

But I do like your red car!

I wanted to share the pictures which include to-date the IND painted side grills, painted front grills, painted reflectors, and Eisenmann 102mm Race Exhaust with cross pipe.

I am going to get the car tinted locally and I have wheels coming next week. One I have the wheels I am sending to Chicago to have Andrew and Nate from IND do some body work and enhancements. I will post pics as I progress. Enjoy..I really am.
That is some Sex on Wheels congrats!

One of my favorite Bmw colors....

Imola or gold brakes and a very light smoke of the taillights would make it look even better.

IND is going to paint the calipers, door handles, and mold/paint the front reflectors. I have the painted reflectors now, but figured if it is in their shop might as well have them completely get rid of them. They are also looking into molding the side grills into the fenders so it looks like a single piece of metal instead of a separate piece (still researching). They are also doing some other cool work. I will post pics once they are done. Wheels are here this coming weekend.

Thanks for the nice comments on the car.

Did you ask IND if they are able to order the European front bumper cover without the reflectors? Compare that expense to having the reflector hole eliminated by bodywork and painting. I'd assume the same bodywork could be done for the rear reflectors? I'm not a fan of red usually, but that is a good looking color, great choice.

1. The exhaust is the Eisenmann 102 with cross pipe. Sounds and looks great.
2. The ordering on a non-individual color took an extra two months of production. You can request any color from your dealership that in turn goes to BMW NA to request a special order. I am told they don't always accept. In my case they did for the very unreasonable cost of $5,000.
3. IND did all the grill paint work.
4. I am sending IND the car this month to do more custom work. I will post updated pictures once it is done.

Thanks for the interest.
Great color, congratulations. I am guessing the blue calipers are among those future IND works since they are the only detail which don't fit with the otherwise perfect car.
