Right on! Your pics are inspiring me to get something better than my crappity iPhone snaps. Or I guess I could always pass off your pics as mine

Your ride height is perfect btw

Gunmetal on Titanium Silver.

Black for a more aggressive look. When I got my black wheels (Silver Gray car), my roommate's first comment was, "Wow, your car looks MEAN!" She was all about them.

There are some of us who figured a CPO Z4M was the most fun we could have for $28k, and we daily drive our cars. Black doesn't show brake dust in between weekly washes, and the design doesn't get "lost" unless you have small brake rotors (non-factor in our M cars). Black wheels have more contrast with the paint (silver wheels on a silver gray car?), and you could also argue it's silly to polish the piece of the car closest to the tires/splashes/road debris and subject to brake dust. To each his own.

Again, I would go with gunmetal for your car. Some styles work, like mfanatic's, but in general black has too much contrast with titanium silver.
