Good idea. Of course. They would only take up space. They are some scrapes on every one though.

ok for a Diesel I supose..... .  well your's is just the 525 !!  530 sounds better !

I have to admit I spent yesterday cleaning mine !  very nice job if I do say so ( I even got the hoover out )

If you are going to change the wheels the one's on Kin's are V V V nice.

 

M5 one's are for M5's !

Ouch... 3 grand. cant see me getting that past her self.

The LM's only come in 19" as far as I can see. I dont want to go that big. So may be a CH 17 or 18..

The BBS LMs are tasty alright but unless you find a set second hand they cost about €3000 without tyres.  

Even second hand sets are going for €2500 but they come with semi used tyres. I sold my set for €2600.

I would love to get another set but it is just too much at the moment.

Kin, it was your car on the BBS wheels that made me look at them.

They would be my first choice.

Just fancy something different.

Just washed it last night with a hose and bucket of soapy (AutoGlym) water.
