Found you about a year ago, and just want to say you have insane car taste and I love your garage. Love how informative and relaxing your videos are, and of course I love BMW🔥
These wheels are absolutely perfect and look absolutely perfect on your f80… I can’t see anything else looking better, totally hit the nail on the head I thought. Fair play playing around to find the look you want. Well explained.
For the price of e88s, i completely agree that you have to 100% adore them in the car to justify keeping them. Anything less, youre better off moving on. But even then, its still hard to part with such a great wheel
Love the build. Always thought these needed to be 19” to match the f30/f80 as they are a pinch too busy. Curious to see the next steps with this build !
I mean, don't listen to what other people are telling you to do.... But at the same time. You're making the right decision. The E88s are not it on an F8x.
Love them. Absolutely worth it. Instant gratification. Easy to clean. Can bring with you if you move to a new space. Can replace if they ever get damaged. Can wash in the garage since it allows the slab to breath. Been in here for 3+ years now and I’ll never not have them in my garage.
Speaking of cleanliness, did you move away from the oem pads? I’m about ready for new pads and i like the performance of the oe pads, but minus the dust.
I really preferred the dark wheels on your color of car. I love 88s also but definitely look kinda small on our cars the only F8x I would put them on is the M2
Either way you go, it’ll look great. You experienced them and got it out of your system. E88’s is one of those wheels where you can get back exactly what you spent, not many on the market that can do that, so should be super easy to move on, even if it take a while to sell. On another note, this is a purely cosmetic question, but have you ever thought about “dressing up” your brakes? Any rotors you like or possibly changing your calipers color? I think doing so can breathe a new look into the whole wheel change as well. Or do you feel it’s carbon ceramics or bust? So no need to switch up otherwise.
Love the build brotha. I have a e46 m3 and a f80 m3 (same color as yours), are you going to be selling the E88's? I have been trying to get a set forever, lmk!
Hope it works out with Carbon Culture. I bought stuff for my F80 with them last year.. It ended up being a nightmare with defects and bad customer service.
I just bought some RIA’s as my track wheels. Awesome wheel! I wanted gloss black as well but from my understanding it was only for the Japan market? I ended up getting the matte gray wheel. I went with 18x10.5 + 37. I’m running a 20MM space upfront since I’m 295 SQ for the track. What tire are you going with?
I was really happy with the FA’s on the STI. Highly recommend them for a good above entry level setup. Although, KW’s are on another level. Just depends on what you are looking for.
Amazing wheel. Almost got a set before the e88’s. Maybe in the future, but I think I checked the lipped, fancy wheel look off the list after the e88’s.
@@Autofreakgarage If you asked me, I would prefer the MLE81s over the E88s. Give it a try maybe. I've been searching for a set of wheels for my F82 as well, but I still haven't found the one because as you said it needs to look good from every angle.
*yells and throws a bottle of OG product at the screen 😂 I love them but… I’m on your side. But you still the fitment master so, I love it when you change wheels🤙🏼
Felt the same way with these BBS as they look small on a big body F80. I liked the simpler design and aggressive looking TEs before.
It's pretty well known that E88 look garbage on F80. People still get them because 'grail' status (perceived).
Yea the TE's look better
The new BBS RIA’s in that gloss black are gonna look so damn good. Aggressive with class 👌🏼 well done sir

Really do appreciate it! Just sharing my journey and hoping to guide enthusiasts in the right direction. Thanks for the support!
I'm new to the channel, but I appreciate your transparency with how and why you mod the F80 the way you do. Loving the content! Keep it up.
These wheels are absolutely perfect and look absolutely perfect on your f80… I can’t see anything else looking better, totally hit the nail on the head I thought. Fair play playing around to find the look you want. Well explained.
100% agree!! And can’t wait to see the new wheels and tires on 🤩

Man you remind me of Matt from
obsessed garage. You guys are crazy when it comes to perfection… thats why i trust yall crazy people 😂.
Ha! Not the first time I’ve heard that. We have a similar mindset on perfection. It’s a blessing and a curse at the same time.
For me, ive never really liked the convex face of the e88. Some 19” lm-r would look hot, just my opinion of course
Love the build. Always thought these needed to be 19” to match the f30/f80 as they are a pinch too busy. Curious to see the next steps with this build !
I actually go over this in the video. Despite the 19’s being “bigger” the face size is the same.
I mean, don't listen to what other people are telling you to do.... But at the same time. You're making the right decision. The E88s are not it on an F8x.
I don’t listen to what anyone tells me. Everything I do is because it’s my choice and what I want to do. Big reason why I never take on sponsorships.
How you liking the Swisstrax? Are they worth buying?
Love them. Absolutely worth it. Instant gratification. Easy to clean. Can bring with you if you move to a new space. Can replace if they ever get damaged. Can wash in the garage since it allows the slab to breath. Been in here for 3+ years now and I’ll never not have them in my garage.
@ oh man that awesome! Is it true your floor always looks clean? It drives me nuts every time I open my garage and a gust of wind blows dirt inside.
Always. Dirty and grime falls into the cracks and the floor looks clean always. Simple vacuum every few months cleans up the debris and you’re set.
That’s perfect exactly what I was hoping to hear. Did you use a tile cutter? Or table saw?

Exact reason why i got rt88s instead. Ri.fs are cool but would be better if were concave
Good find on the i8 buttons 😮

you are correct and they look small.. e90x would rock this look perfect..
Can’t wait to see this car in person one day
I really preferred the dark wheels on your color of car. I love 88s also but definitely look kinda small on our cars the only F8x I would put them on is the M2
silver wheels simply cannot be beat on ANY colour M3

I’ll have more on the brakes once the new wheels come in 😬
Love the build brotha. I have a e46 m3 and a f80 m3 (same color as yours), are you going to be selling the E88's? I have been trying to get a set forever, lmk!
Yes sir. For sale. Hit me up on Instagram if you are interested. Happy to discuss any details and questions you may have.
Hope it works out with Carbon Culture. I bought stuff for my F80 with them last year.. It ended up being a nightmare with defects and bad customer service.

What tire are you going with?
System motorsports did a small batch of them for the US market.
Same tire I have on the te’s. Rt660’s.
To be honest I prefer the darker wheels on your car the TE'S were perfect 👌. Silver looks great on some cars, can't wait to see them.
Agree!
Future wheels set is Apex VS-5RS?
Always been a favorite of mine, but too many people run them for me to consider.
Hey brother great vid, did you get the i8 buttons separately? I can only find them on a full steering wheel (I’m in the uk)
Yes separately. It was really hard to find.
How about the Rays G025? That would look good on your M3.
Not my cup o’ tea
For the Subaru guys, would you recommend KWs or the fortue autos you had?
I was really happy with the FA’s on the STI. Highly recommend them for a good above entry level setup. Although, KW’s are on another level. Just depends on what you are looking for.
What about the BC Forged MLE81s?
Amazing wheel. Almost got a set before the e88’s. Maybe in the future, but I think I checked the lipped, fancy wheel look off the list after the e88’s.

I like oem wheels. I have an m3cs and feel they are the best look other than 666m
Great wheel for sure
*yells and throws a bottle of OG product at the screen
😂 I love them but…
I’m on your side. But you still the fitment master so, I love it when you change wheels🤙🏼
Will you be selling the stock grill section with the chrome m3 badge? Need one for my car
Don’t plan on it
@ okay they’re tough to find with the badge section of the grill but if you do I’ll grab it
Best wheels I've seen on an F80 are the HRE R101 LW in 20" .( Dubsesd Atlantis Blue F80 )
Great wheel!
Ccw classics would look good on a f80
I’d rather go with the hre 300 classics with that style.
The grey CS wheels would look great on the car
Love the cs wheels, but offsets aren’t its strong suit. Would have to run spacers to get it fitting right.
Out of curiosity what is the concern with Spacers?
No concern. But would rather get proper fitting wheels than have to use them to get it to fit right.
imo e88s are too retro for a newbody like an f8x. i think they stop looking period correct after e9x. (no bias lol)
I’m the exact same way!!👍🏽
When did you change your RUclips name???
Few months ago. Went over it in a video.
@@Autofreakgaragemust’ve missed it. Does make more sense
You could have painted the silver ones.
Went over why I didn’t want to do this.
Everyone knows E88 look small on F80/F82. F87 they look good.
Haven’t seen a set of wheels that looks better than the OEM Comp 666 wheels on the F80. Sometimes I think less is more
Why the name scooby freak change
I went over it in a video when I changed it.
TEs look better bro.
I always hated e88 they look like old grandpa wheels off a 1960 Cadillac not my cup of tea
🤔 do what makes you happy bro lol go lm-r
That’s what I’m doing bro.
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! :)
And scoobyfreak is dead.
Channel name changed almost 2 months ago. And for what it’s worth, the channel started out as m3freak86 back in 2011 👍🏻
@ I’m here for it. And now I’m showing the wife the swisstraxs for the garage :)
First!
