Child gets his hands on a BMW (UK Build)

[190Evan]

Get style 95's off a 7 and run some 215/35/19's. It'll be mint

[Mehowski]

looks clean !

why not get some X5 18s...Styling 177 or something

they kinda cheap and fit pretty alright...and they“re both...mesh-y and OEM.
BMW got loads of cool OEM wheels tho

Style 177s are sweet but very hard to find in the UK.. theres so much more choice over on the Deutschland eBay than the UK one haha

I do find myself browsing http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/ everyday at work now!

Looks great man. Glad to see you in a BM. Just don't get mad and write the thing off into a tree or something, I've seen it happen too many times haha.

And I might have some 32's for sale soon..

Thank you man! I've tried doing hoodrat shit in it in an open car park and I'm absolutely useless, so I'm not going to bother again. Plus, this has been a dream for a while now so I'll be taking good care of it.

Also I shall offer you £35 and 5 bottles of Irn Bru for those lovely 32s of yours...

maybe you could get a set of style 162's?

i have them on my 330ci and they fit absolutely perfect and look amazing too

They're a lovely wheel but I'd have to go silly low to pull them off to how I'd like it, and I fancy either thinner spoke wheels such as style 66s or something with a lip and mesh

yeah man good work!! i know you messaged me about my old one but the insurance was to much on the 6cyl.

the front wobbling is more than likely the lollipop bushes up front. when you do coilers i would suggest replacing them and may swell do lower arms whilst you are there, yes it will cost slightly more but will be well worth it and atleast you know that its done.

the cooling systems on these do go and break allot so keep an eye on that!!

i vote ambers, i don't think i have any laying around but i will have a look, i need a garage clear our!

also you know i am not to far so if you need a hand just drop me a message

Your help is very much appreciated! I know my tie rods need replacing so I'll be taking care of that once I get paid... the bushings on them are terrible, I slow right down over every pot hole and bump as I don't want them getting any worse.

I photoshopped some ambers and I wasn't very sold on them. I feel like they work best on dark coloured cars, and my car is juuuuuust a little too light to pull them off.

Nice man! Good shit!

Cheers man!

Lollipop Bushes, only in GB.

Yeah you can get some mad fitment with 95's, although I'm still trying to make my mind up if I want 19s as I'd have to run rubber band tires to fit them well.


I shall leave you all with a basic photoshop of lows and some BBS e88s which imo are one of the prettiest wheels BBS has ever made (RFs are up there too.)

Just an idea of the sort of thing I'll be going for, and likelyhood is I won't be going any lower than the ps purely because I want this to be a little more driving focused than scrape-over-everything focused.

Cheers!

just had a look on ebay.co.uk and there are indeed nearly none cool OEM 18s that are atleast somewhat afforable.

What about M Parallels from an E38/E39? 18x9 or 9.5 I think. Could be a good stopgap until you get some mega splits

Yesterday was a disaster for me guys (I'm to blame)

So yesterday, front left fender got keyed a little, no fault of my own. Wouldn't be surprised if the neighbors cat decided to use my car as a playground.

Later on, on my way home from a photoshoot I ended up taking some country lanes to dodge some traffic as I was on a tight time frame to drop a friend off home. I ended up having a Mexican stand off with a Vauxhall Astra on a very tight road. The Astra won.

I ended up hitting a branch, and snapped my wing mirror off. I reckon if BMW didn't have idiotic wing mirrors which folded normally and not upwards that wouldn't have happened. Ah well, rather have a wing mirror to deal with than a dented door or a fender. For now I have carried out the amputation and am driving about with no passenger wing mirror until I can find a cheap replacement. It feels terrible knowing you broke your car, but there was honestly nothing I could have done and the bloke in the Astra was more to blame than I was.

Later that night I was caught speeding on my local dual carriage way by two undercover police cars - I'm an idiot. It was the first time I got pulled over in my life and I got off very lightly and have learned my lesson, and now I'm on a local speeding register sort of thing so if I get caught again I'm going to jail for 25 years which isn't nice.

Safe to say I won't be speeding again.

I went to buy some car parts from Poland last night on eBay however the buyer can't accept payment at the moment (??) so for now we still wait.

I just want to fix my damn mirror and give my car another detail. On the bright side, I did a good 300 mile round trip today for a show and the car didn't skip a beat.

They're a nice wheel, but personally not my taste. I want something with a few more spokes. Still hunting down a set of Style 94s but looking at the state of my life I think I need to save for another month or two.
