The Wheel & Tire package also includes larger front M Sport brakes. You don’t need that package for 155 as long as you have Summer tires from the factory.
I heard there are a lot of false positives with the radar, especially in city areas, resulting in constant headaches with adjusting the frequency band. Many people just use waze as a reference tool these days.
@@xFlared I took me some time to set it up and go through all the settings but once it's dialed in it works well and catches things before Waze or unreported on Waze.
@@itaintm240 Hi, I am not sure if 265 will fit on 19x8 or 19x8.5, mine are 19x9 which is wide enough to fit 265. I would check the exact fitment guide for the wheel.
@@VicBuccosdamn I thought it is lowered because it looks like it. Might go with a wider setup without lowering it. Are you planning to lower it with springs or not?
@@chrlsjeric Nah just doesn't appeal to me. 1, I don't think it needs it, ride height is fine, 2, it will mess with wheel fitment and I will need to run spacers, 3, lower ride height means the bottom will start to scrape not a problem I want to have
Hi, here is the exact wheel I went with: apexwheels.com/vehicles/bmw/2-series/g42#construction=forged&design=vs-5rs&finish=anthracite&frontQty=2&frontSize=19x95-et25&rearQty=2&rearSize=19x95-et25
@@VicBuccos Oh weird, if you look at the pictures online it looks like its just the same exhasut with no tips bolted on. But I just re-checked and there is a slight difference in the pipes at the muffler exit. Bummer.

Beautiful car. Great fitment on your wheels. I would suggest lowering springs, but looks like you are in New York or somewhere similar , so potholes .....
@@behindthebuild8016 Nah if it's hardwired it's installed on the car, people say stuck on spoilers and 3M aero is part of a build, lots of things qualify under those circumstances💀
Those wheels are beautiful. I would have chosen them also.

brakes arent larger on that package, just turns the calipers red
Looks great.... I'm picking up a 2025 in the same Portimao Blue next week at BMW performance center.
@@gwei316 Amazing, I like the new interior on the 25 model gets better leather and upgraded steering wheel!
@@VicBuccos yea I ordered in July when it became available. I waited for the 25 since I wanted the new steering wheel.
What is the center cap size? Great build!

Looks great 👍 What is the tire size with those 19x9.5 rims?
@@is4life862 Went with 265 35 ZR19
By going from 225 to 265 did you notice considerable tire noise when driving at highway speeds? I drive 80+ on turnpike/garden state.
@@xFlared If anything it now has less road noise, the run-flats the car came with were obnoxious.
Can you help us with the Apex model and wheel specs, please.
@@esaruribe Hi, I went with Apex VS-5RS 19x9.5" Exact link attached apexwheels.com/vehicles/bmw/2-series/g42
What shop did you end up going to? Looking to get an exhaust soon
@@xXMrHob0kenXx Ended up using KND tuning in Saddle Brook
you think I can run the 265 squared on the stock 995M 19x8 front and 19x8.5 rear without any issues?

No. Max recommended tire widths for 8" and 8.5" wheels are 245 and 255 respectively. 265 will not look or drive well.
Why cost it call that much for a simple exhaust install? That difficult because it's a BMW? Or bc it's a bmw
Milltek is a good name, exhaust was $2900, $500 for labor
An Alcantara steering wheel would look nice
@@Nick-hz2kl Agreed, the 2025 gets an upgraded steering wheel😭
@@VicBuccos I saw the flat bottom one , looks nice
Autoid do an lci version and you can keep the physical heated steering wheel button and you can have it in alcantara should you wish
What is the colour? Thundernight?
Portimao Blue
Those are the best tires ever. So glad I found them by trial and error.
@@Digiphex 100% continental is the best!
Is it lowered or just a wider tire setup?
@@chrlsjeric Just wider setup, ride height is stock👍
@@VicBuccosdamn I thought it is lowered because it looks like it. Might go with a wider setup without lowering it. Are you planning to lower it with springs or not?
Nope, going to leave it just as it is.
Why so? Afraid of lowering springs?

Bro the milltek exhaust literally is designed to keep the stock tips. You also save like $800 on the tips. Looks great how you have it though!
@@SNiiPEDoGG Yep, but from the shops I called they didn't have that system in stock with no back order or ETA date😭
@@VicBuccos Oh weird, if you look at the pictures online it looks like its just the same exhasut with no tips bolted on. But I just re-checked and there is a slight difference in the pipes at the muffler exit. Bummer.
@@SNiiPEDoGG Yep, it doesn't fit🙁
What's your opinion on the illuminated m trim pkg for $200? Yeah or save it for other mods?
@@David_D.926 I love it $200 isn't bad for some nice interior lighting.
@@VicBuccos What is it exactly? Just the extra lighting in that door panel area?
@@David_D.926 Yep and on the passenger dash
I presume this is your first RWD bias car, cause everyone knows rear tires worn out first.
@@OFFROADandSTUFF ?? Fronts wear first they handle the breaking and steering. Regardless rotating allows for even wear and tire longevity which is possible with a square setup...
Steer tires are not even close on the wear to the rear ones who have to deal with all that torque, Bmw xDrive systems are rear wheel drive biased.

Drop the damn thing 🙄
lol radar and dash cam are not build items lol

If you’re counting those as a “build” you have a very boring build. Builds are cosmetic and ideally performance enhancements
@@behindthebuild8016 🫡
Dope car .
To get the 155 mph limiter, you only need to order the car with the non-runflat performance tires.
