That's a really nice car, but it's leaning a little too far towards the rice side for me :/

TT and that's the output? Personally, if going TT it would have to be badassly (new word, look for it in webster dictionary summer of 2019) done if it were not going to be making sick power. Im willing to bet that a single turbo could produce more power and retain just as much cool factor though.

Trust me, even in this large car, 380whp is nice. My buddy took me for a ride in his 135i (same motor) with tune only and it still ripped the 275 tires. He took it to Homestead's road course and was hitting almost 150 in the front straight (my car barely makes 120mph).
BMW doesn't go for peak power, they make the torque curve like a table top using twin variable cams.
"The world's best cam combined with a poor set of heads will produce an engine that's a dog. But bolt on a set of great heads even with a poor cam, and that engine will still make great power." ~John Lingenfelter
I think it's a really sweet car, but it's the body kit and wing I don't care for. The color doesn't bother me as much as the body kit/wing.

Not a "body kit", it has m3 replica bumpers and custom side skirts, carbon hood/trunk. It's not paint, either, it's a vinyl wrap - the car is a nice silver color, actually.
Bags aren't my thing, but it was a well paying and fun project
