My Dakar Special Edition M3 on 20's

Dakar_M3 · 06-18-2010, 11:57 PM

Hey , I'm pretty new to this place and I was trying to sell these wheels because the wife was scared to damage them but I decided to put them on . These are 20" Axis Super Penta's I had custom painted w/ a Dakar Yellow pinstripe ( not offered by Axis ) in keeping w/ the Special Edition theme .The std Axis Super Penta is a completely different yellow . I think I may be the first Dakar S/E w/ 20's....

Enjoy

Looks very cool and unique

kpneverdies · 06-19-2010, 12:04 AM

is ur wheels custom design?
how did you put that yellow stripe on?? looks VERY VERY nice.

Dakar_M3 · 06-19-2010, 12:12 AM

The Super Penta's are special order for the M3 and all Penta's have a machined groove in them and they come w/ a choice of aval colors but their yellow they use is not even close to the Dakar Yellow so I had a local shop repaint the yellow to match the car ....this required a bit of effort because Axis uses a lettering paint and the stuff takes forever to harden and when we tried to scuff it down to apply a primer it just went all gummy and we risked damaging the matt black but with time we were able to do it and you see the result .....it's different and the car looks excellent rolling down the road at speed

Needs to be lower to pull off the look. 20s on stock height look weird.

Dakar_M3 · 06-19-2010, 01:20 AM

The Special Editions do sit lower.....10mm lower than a stock M3

" The suspension of the BMW M3 Edition Models adds to the sporting style of the cars, lowering the entire body by 10 millimetres or 0.4“. "

I think he means even lower. 10mm is not very much once you add 20's to the mix.

amk6453 · 06-19-2010, 12:28 PM

Meff · 06-19-2010, 05:44 PM

very nice - if you can, some interior shots would be nice - love the Edition interior

did you get it from AutoWest ?

xquizit · 06-19-2010, 06:29 PM

It would've been cool if you got the color matched reflectors while getting the stripes done on the wheels. Just my 2c

Dakar_M3 · 06-19-2010, 07:19 PM

The car is from " The Bmw Store " on Burrard , not sure Autowest got any

Interior shots uploaded for you

quality_sound · 06-19-2010, 07:42 PM

I like the one piece armrest and I think the stance is fine.

Appreciate the interior shots - enjoy

bavarian19 · 06-19-2010, 09:50 PM

Eh. Not feeling the wheels.

Maseroche · 06-20-2010, 04:46 AM

Looking good with the 20's!

positiveions · 06-20-2010, 09:23 AM

congrats

edcvin · 06-20-2010, 10:30 AM

I hate to critic but why axis pentas? With all the extra money spent on the individual package, why not go for a more quality oriented wheel?

Please don't misunderstand, it doesn't look bad although it does need to be lowered. Just curious as to why you chose Axis?

Enjoy the car.
