Originality aside, I like the silver accents against the white. Not quite as much as the gold with Weissgold wheels though.

Amazing execution on the look.

This looks much better than I'd think it would. Very nicely done.

Is that white RS w/ silver accents the same car as this one?

Do you have anymore (close ups) of your E88s? I was set on gold E88s (again) until I realized red center locks are no more. Didn't think black would go well with it, but yours pulls it off from afar very well!

listed for $140k and dealer accepted verbal offer of $128k from my new friend. I was surprised at the immediate drop from the dealer, lol. Wonder if they know the history too. Possible that all the issues pointed out 3.5 years ago could have been addressed but definitely told my guy to tread carefully and have everything inspected thoroughly. I can also just advise him to drop it altogether if the collective wisdom advises so!
