![]() 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 |

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. Last edited by kbk_75 : 1st June 2008 at 01:26. | |

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. | |

| ![]() Here's a few pics I took of the M3 next to an E60 M5. The light was poor and they aren't the best pics, but for those who'd like to see... |

| ![]() Nicce pics ! The Infinity motors driveway adds a good background effect too. You seem to love paying visits to those guys at Infinity it seems KBK? ![]() Looks like the M5 might have been towed there as the cap on the front bumper is off. Oops ! Did i just read GTO call a Bangled design "beautiful" : ![]() Last edited by Sahil : 28th December 2008 at 15:36. |
