Sorry rear offset too low and too much $ for a style I’m not that fond of anyway.

good price though in general..

looking for something like

18x8 or 18x8.5 front et35-40

18x9 or 18x9.5 rear et40-45

something from a f30 might work or any bbs wheels

OR 

19x8-8.5 et35-40

19x8.5-9.5 et 40-50

Thought it may have been one of the members on here. Pretty tempting!

Thats not the real price so if youre interested pm me

gotta take into account all the tm low ball offers hence the high price.

Surely one of you guys saw this up

Its mine. Just taking advantage of the free listing day for tm

more like 1988 Rust Bucket, comes with a free cup holder and bbs reps

I think it has something to do with the curvature of the sidewall profile in relation to the width of the tyre and the rim.

for example if the width of a tyre is wide but the rim is narrower you get a sidewall shape that is greater at the tyre tread than it is at the mounting point on the rim. 

whereas if you have a taller sidewall profile, you allow for the sidewall to bulge and curve evenly so its more balanced (if that makes sense)

red - 235 45

blue - 235 40

Im surprised the tyre shop allowed the fitting of non regulation size tyre on the rim. 

you're running these wheels right?

in which case its a 7.5" front so the 235 will look very "bulgy"

sold within a day

Currently Im running 225 40 18 & 255 35 18 on 7.5" & 8.5" (style 261, 135i wheels)

it totally depends on the wheel widths!

fronts if staggered are usually 7.5" --> 215/225 or 8" --> 225/235 with 40 profile

rears usually 8” —> 245 or 8.5" --> 255 or 9" --> 265 with 35 profile

I have also run 235 40 18 square on 18x8.5 wheels which seems fine.

OriJinal 316

once you 130i, you cant stop.

Best 130i deal ive seen recently.

Bargain imo at $8k
facelift with 135 front bumper and Advan wheels 123k kms

nice, good call on the F10. they can be great modern cars for less money than the equivalent f30.

Pretty sure this is sold

I think M50b25 engines are easy ish to find but a manual box is not as easy.

If you can find one cheap and shipping isnt a killer then might not be a bad idea.

Two very different cars. The 330ci will get u maybe 8-10km/l whereas the 116 will be more like 12-13km/l. 

Both great cars nevertheless. 
 

what u really need is a 130i 😉

Yep, well ahead of you. Gonna do it with a personalized plate (euro style).

Any idea on what the plate is gonna be?

^ is it not a whole new bootlid like the E39? does the bottom part separate?
