Michael. 2313 Report post Posted October 8, 2015 Will the airbag still work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kulgan 1042 Report post Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Will the airbag still work? Yes, plug n play. Both 750 and 728i are Dual stage airbags. I need to find a Single stage for the 740i. Pre 2/99 build date are single stage airbags and 4/99 up are dual stage. If the build month of your car is 3/99 then there's a chance you could have either model and a visual inspection is needed to be sure what you have.

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted October 9, 2015 Are those wheels really worth $750? i have one in my E38 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NUSTAD 243 Report post Posted October 9, 2015 What paint are you using - not sure if it's a trick of the light but it looks like you have a shadow chrome effect like the original finish. Nice work - will really set the car off. Love these wheels! To answer breakers question - worth what someone would pay. 750 for four good wheels maybe.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm using PlastiKote Chrome bumper paint and I'm going to put a hard drying crystal clear enamel over the top. I'm happy with the result and it's about as close to the original finish as I could get. I'm looking forward to getting it on the car and seeing what it'll look like. I saw a nice staggered set of these advertised recently for $1000 and sold. Considering these came with 4 new tires I'm counting myself lucky. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couple of minutes each side and it was done. Have them all on the car now. Much improved from the colored lenses. Before. After.
