Apart from the E36, finally getting a new BMW 540! Just awaiting confirmation from pops, if all goes well should have it within a few months!

Fourth one from the top.

Then Prestige has them in 100PCD 16",17" etc.

A member on the forum got them from Lenso and actually they looked the deal and comes closest. He has got them on a Skoda Octi. Check out the Alloys show off thread.

Ahh Nice, And do we expect MODS on that also??

Or Do you plan a Modded and Stock(but Definately a head turner)BMW full garage???

i dont think i'll touch the 540 engine wise, most likely just visual upgrades!

why not the 335i. I understand you already have a 3 series but the 335i still should be great and if this is going to be your personal car, even better.
And about 15 lak lighter on pocket too.

Abix · 28th January 2009, 01:40

Thanks dipen, had already considered that option, however, not a big fan of the new 3 series, and also need something slightly larger. Would've loved to get my hands on the M3 though, but thats out of the budget.

dipen · 28th January 2009, 01:57

I am sure you would have considered all options, but still. Doesn't the S4 make sense too. Its slightly bigger than a 3 and slightly smaller than the 5. Again 15 lak cheaper than the 540i and a little more powerful (hp). Plus you would have a different brand in the home too.

Are you planning the tiptronic or 6-speed ?

Now you are talking !!

So going straight for the kill - eh ?? The 540i would not need any mods (I hope) IMHO It has a presence - an understated one, hope you keep it at that

Hope to see the car & pictures real soon !

Cheers

@abix

How is your car coming along ? Ready to roll on 17's ?? What paint have you finally gone for ? How about some WIP pics.

Cheers

Abix · 19th February 2009, 06:45

Sir, just today had a word with Arush, the denting work as well as the mechanical technicalities have been sorted out, only the power steering pump remains to arrive. The interiors are stitched and are expected in a day or so. The car is now in the process of heading to the paint booth. Id love to take some WIP pics however, im in london at the moment shopping for some accessories for my car. Rims im most dissapointed in the choice as in 17s the ones available aren't exactly what i would like. The design i would love is available in 18 inch and i don't know whether it would be a good idea on a 100bhp car. If anyone does find rims in 120 pcd do let me know.

Cheers

So Abix, are we decided about the color yet? Or any last minute thoughts...Its almost time heh!

Abix · 24th February 2009, 05:26

As decided Arush, the dark grey is the way we're gonna go. When exactly are we starting with the paintjob, as im returning back to Delhi on the 25th and would prefer sampling the colour before going ahead with the paintjob. Cheers
