If your primary concern with wheel size is road comfort, forget it. You likely wouldn't notice the difference. I had the same concern when shopping for mine, ultimately went with 19s and am very happy with ride comfort.

Thanks, that's a good point. I think any of them will feel more compliant compared to my current Boxster anyway.

Also, does it have speed-dependent volume? (My wife's S5 Sportback has it and it's a very nice feature, I'm always adjusting the volume on my Boxster based on my speed). It's a bit hard to cross-compare between different models because they all have different base and upgraded speaker configurations anyway. |

HK does have more setting options than the base system. You can tweak individual bands on the HK system. Also, yes on the speed dependent volume.

The bottom line is that if you don't intend to do an upgrade later on with an after market system the HK does a very reasonable job. |

Ah yeah I wasn't sure about that, kept it blue to match the paint, but I can see the "pop" working too, especially since it would match "M colors". |

The build link you posted showed Portimao Blue, if that is the case the blue calipers will be totally lost when you look at the car. The red calipers do pop and are a really nice accent color. My Misano Blue color is brighter than PB and I always get compliments on the red calipers. |

Now I'm also having second thoughts on the Moonlight roof top. Since I'm getting the shadowline package black might look better next to the trims and mirror caps.

I have the Shadowline pack with the Moonlight top. I just realized I have no pictures of the car with the top up to post for you, but I think it looks good. The top has a really nice texture/shimmer to it. I was on the fence about it, but am glad I got it. There's someone in my building who has a Z4 with the standard black top, and when I've parked next to him made me glad I got the Moonlight one. Last edited by RigaTony1982; 08-11-2023 at 01:28 PM..

Oh yeah. I just noticed he posted his build. 100% on the Moonlight with PB. It's about the cheapest option out there too. Well worth it.

Brake dust insane, just so you know. Probably the worst I've experienced with any car. SO MUCH SO... I actually asked around and they said it's pretty typical of BMWs. Hence the reason why I'm opting for the new LCI wheels. they are all black, but I like the V-spoke as it should be a little easier to clean (no small crevices).

Edit: Here's a PB with the standard black top. IMO the Moonlight looks better with this color. https://www.bmwofmyrtlebeach.com/new...bcd94b3aca.htm |

Yes you can see the shimmer, but IMO that's what makes it look a little more classy and "expensive". Still BLACK but got a nice sheen to it. Personally I really like it and probably would have opted for it had I known before I got my 30i. The builder makes it just look like a charcoal gray and doesn't do it any sort of justice. |
