Have to say i actually quite liked the first set of tail lights, but the originals are a 1000 times better.

Always been a fan of small wheels they kinda look less......council estate?

Still prefer a chrome grill though, but even without it, car looks stunning.

i can understand the statements about certain "wrongness" but i do feel the car carries the differences well

Is this the original BMW red? if so what is it called. It looks great

yes original colour " brilliantrot"
which i think is also known as "bright red"

'Brilliant Red' and 'Bright Red' are different colours in the BMW range. I think Bright Red was a later colour.

At least your car is red (of any type) and not pink like mine.
