Lovely car. Wheels really spoil it for me though. Has it been lowered too?

Came with standard wheels and run flat tyres which were useless. I had these wheels already so it seemed prudent to use them. They were meant to be winter only as tyres are winter tyres. Now I still have them on. Car only gets used occasionally when I need the room as I have 2 others.

I had a Bilstein suspension kit fitted because rear shocks failed mot. Rear on these is an air spring with compressor which self levels. It is a bit lower I think but not much. It still clears kerbs when parking.

Hi. Has anyone got bmw 398 alloys they can share a pic for me? Just ordered a 335d with these, now panicking I should have stuck with the more popular type. May not be too late to change.

They look like the ones we have on our work cars, easy to clean, but don't look too good. Is it to late to change?

Don't think I would be happy with them. I wanted the19" 442 but you can now only get these as part of the m sport plus pack which is £2000. On a plus you get included that the sun protection glass which I had as an option and the h and k stereo which I was tempted by so after a few minutes consideration I've managed to change to these. Just got a long wait now for car to be built!! Early indication is 31st October.

Any E60 love here?

Hoping to buy one in the next year... Hopefully a dark grey 530 M Sport with black leather interior. My current car does 40mpg though so I could be tempted by a 530d, but would prefer the petrol from a petrolhead point of view, and simplicity of maintenance/less to go wrong.

I wanted an E46 330 coupe and have done for as long as I can remember, but I think i've missed the boat on <60k examples (which I could pile miles on for quite a few years) that are reasonably priced. I think the money asked for them is nuts.

I have also developed a love for big cars, and a 5 series of the same era as the E46 will have more kit I guess, for less money the way things are going, so better value for money and still look as timeless as the E46 IMHO.

You need to knock down that brick wall - it's getting in the way of some decent photos!

Come on let's see some proper snaps of that 5 series.

Hehe sorry! I've had quite a few E28's over the years (all 528i's) smile

Honestly, I have never seen a 550. Good choice.

There are a few saloons but the touring is very rare. Mine is auto but a handful of manual exist. Other than the badge you'd never know.

I'd love a manual one of those. Awesome car fella.
