    Very nice!
    I like your brake set up, they look like my brembos just on a smaller rotor...

    Very Nice! Really like the M touch on the seats. (And the fact that it defies gravity on that third shot. BMW spared no expense for these cars).

    Thanks, I appreciate it. I've seen your thread with pics of your brake set up last week, your set up looks good also.
    I knew your rotors looked bigger than my stock rotors but wasn't sure if the rotors on the 850 were bigger due to the V12.

    Thanks, I don't know what happened with that third shot. I tried to find a photo rotation tab with no luck, so just said screw it.

    No they're not, I believe they came on the 96-97 840's and some 850's but I'm not sure if they were an upgrade
    from BMW.

    I see now they are 840 brembos , the color and the wheels make them stand out more and look like bbk.

    Yellow calipers on anything makes it look non-stock.
