Car is going to be a bit louder in a few weeks courtesy of my homeboy @pynacl

Some say, He still hasn't responded.

I also fully installed the Karbonious Air box over the weekend and got it tuned by HTE. The install was very easy straight forward. The most time consuming part was wiring in the new MAP sensor, but even that was not bad.
Overall, this is my new favorite mod on the car. This thing sounds INSANE. I watched so many videos before installing this over the years and nothing captures the sound properly. It sounds like the motor is sitting right next to you. I love it. The only cons I have noticed so far is a torque loss between 3-4500 RPMS. I have a dyno session Monday and this might get fixed, I am not sure. Even if it is not, it is very minor, and there is for sure a lot more top end power. Surprisingly, my gas mileage (as long as im not beating on it) is about the same as well. I got 31 MPG on the way to Final Bout over the weekend which is awesome with the $55 a gallon for premium right now. 
This car has evolved so much in the year I have owned it and is quickly becoming my favorite car I have owned.

Spent a full 8 hours taking out my saggy oem black headliner and replacing it with some suede!
Removed all the old adhesive and foam for a fe w hours. It was terrible, but very worth it. 
I ended up getting a few small creases in spots that are pretty hidden but it is so much better than what I had. Wrap job is a 8.5/10 but I am 10/10 happy with it.

As @Rekpointsaid, I have yet to see a car I liked these on. But they look so good on your car. I am very excited to see this in person! 
 

Other than you knowing it's there that shouldn't hurt anything.  

EPIC! That's a big pet peeve of mine about directional wheels. If they only go one direction, they look dumb on the "wrong side" 
Awesome man, im stoked on these for you!

Well that seems like poor oversight

Sorry for the delay, it's been a busy few weeks for me.  We've had a lot going on at work and at home lately!
I got my wheels hand delivered by @SteelBlue last week and promptly got them installed!  They are Artisa Elder's running 19x9.5 et35 and 19x10.5 et25 with Yokohama Advan Sport+ in 255/35r19 and 275/35r19.  The wheels are .5" wider than my stock ZCP wheels.  The offsets make them slightly more aggressive than the ZCP wheels but not as aggressive as I wanted so I'm running the same 12.5mm rear and 15mm front spacers I had on the ZCP wheels which makes it about a half inch wider than the old set up.  The picture makes it look like the rear is cambered in but it's a weird angle in the picture.
I have a set of ST XTA +3 coilovers on the way to replace the OEM 93k mile struts/shocks.  The goal isn't to lower the car more just refresh the current set up and dial in the ride and handling.

The ZCP is an all time great but I wanted to try something new for a bit.  That and they need some refinishing so this is a good substitute for now.

Crazy that I hated that design on every other car they were put on. Then you throw them on your car and they look pretty damn good. Hard to beat the ZCPs tho.

If you guys haven't guessed, David is my teenage son. They say this addiction can be hereditary. I have 2 that can attest to that, and my wife thinks we're all nuts.  We have a  three E34 family among other BMWs.

So it's an 1995 bmw 540i it's an automatic for now it will be swapped to manual hopefully before winter, I bought it outa Idaho and it was in Cali it's whole life so it's completely rust free, has 131,000 miles. It's a father son project so that me and him can both have 540i manuals grew up in the back of one and loved them (the Calypso one at the bottom is his)
thanks for asking:) 
 

*cough*

I don't so much mind the interior pieces but the exterior bits are fucking terrible.  Now, holy grail being the factory 4.4l engine, adjustable dampers, titanium exhaust and lightweight pieces.
