Congrats on the M3 accordmasters. We may have another M3 owner on the forum soon. The grey M3 has left the Juhu showroom

more updates later

Shift-up early, you know by now how quick the car revs. I read some reports of M3s drinking oil if they were badly run-in, so I was very careful with my run-in period and I have NEVER had to add any oil to my car. How's the ride on the 19s?

Those 19s will look sweet on your car.... and the 18s would look sweet on mine

Let me know when you decide to make the switch... i'll happily accept your gift

But someone has beat me to it... i saw a white 5 series with Mtech body kit and new m3 alloys.

You think your wheels would fit without a problem on my car?

well kbk i have been shifting up around 5000rpm...its very hard to keep the revs down if u find that empty stretch of road..as far the ride is concerned its acceptable but have to be very careful of the pits on the road...already done 800kms..other systems working fine..getting used to the voice input system though

Congrats on the hot m/c ........Is your car came with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup or PS2????

Ha! That car belongs to a good friend of mine! Those rims are actually M5 style rims that were painted graphite. The body kit does make a BIG difference to the car's looks though. It is BLOODY expensive though!

As for M3 rims fitting on a 525d, I think the off-set would be the biggest issue. The width will not be a problem.

Edit: I could always ask my friend if you'd be interested in buying his OEM 18s that came on his 530i.

I was lookin at a similar kit earlier M5 Kit + 166m rims + CF Diffuser shipped and painted US$7450

Are you sure he has the 19inch 166m wheels?They didnt look as big for some reason....he has the Mtech kit right?

I already have someone trying to sell his 530i rims to me coz he is getting the same kit, but i'm not a big fan that design unless i get a good price after exchange of my current wheels....i'd rather put my money on something better once my tyres wear out as 18inchers on RFTs is a bad idea!

PM me his price tho.

He has 18" rims. I told him not to get 19 inchers if he wanted to keep the ride bearable on our roads. I will ask him how much he wants and get back to you.

Ya, too bad it was early and there was so much traffic. The power curve on this V8 is a dead-straight line. Totally linear, so it really does make ALL it's power through revs, all the way to the 8,400 rpm red-line, just like a bike!
