Thank You!!

I wonder if Dark Graphite Metallic would look similar with the matte wrap?

man this car looks so good in darker colors, I keep getting drawn back to carbon black and BSM for my build. But MBB is so perfectly blue, want to dive into it and swim around.

sigh.

I like this. Not slammed.....just removing some gap between wheel arch and tire.

I've read/heard in a couple of places that the G90/G99 can have a tendency to follow irregularities in the road surface (tramlining).

Has changing the ride height and adding spacers altered the geometry a little bit thereby reducing the tramlining?

yes it does tramline which could be a combination of the double wishbone suspension and/or factory alignment.

you could adjust the alignment to reduce the tramlining but you won't eliminate it completely.

I think has to do with the rear wheel steering and it is more like a feeljng then real tramlining

I would call it ping ponging, yes does do that quite a bit, requires active controlling of the steering wheel on highways, it’s borderline annoying
