NO NO NO!!!

The inset is all wrong and they'll stick too far into the
arches, ruin the steering geometry and probably foul
a part of the steering.

DON'T DO IT!!!!

Drew.. Just saw you are in Steeple Ashton.. I grew up in Bulkington and remember driving around the airfield..
E36 wheels have offsets ranging from 35-47.
E32 are 15-22
E38 are 15-28
E65/66 are 18-28

The youngest E32 owner I've heard is on the Scottish forum and he hasn't even passed his test yet.

It's a question of maturity and taste, nothing to do with age

I'm only new here guys, but slagging off a 7 series? Surely, you cannot be serious?

Taste, elegance, power and sophistication - what more could ANYONE want ?

'scuse me Mell - I wasn't really being serious, it's just that this (E38 740i) is my first BM and perhaps I'm being a little over-protective.

This is what love does to you.............

740i virgin and happy with it.
Blissfully happy in France
