oh now that's just pretty.

yours look like genuine ones tho, and possibly 19s? that shape can wear 19s but mine would look a bit OTT with them.

think you just made my mind up about centre caps too!

Cheers. Yep they're genuine LM's which cost a small fortune, however worth every penny. They're 18's running 255 rears. I love them to bits and IMO they make the car.

Any more of yours... Please?

i've kept my genuine staggered sunflowers, they're getting a good wax and being stored in the garage for when i feel a bit more OE. also, i suspect the LMs are a bit of a bugger in winter.

A lovely looking wheel on a lovely looking car mate. And the Z3M too! Got the same reps on my car. Just a shame it's not an M! frown

Nice to see someone else who likes to modify their M3 smile
Those wheels do look good, and I agree that it needs to be lowered now to get the best look.
I've got a mint, low mileage E36 M3 Cab in a rare colour, which had already had some very nice, properly done, and expensive mods before I bought it. I've just fitted a set of 19" staggered alloys to it and I think they really improve the look of the car. I haven't posted any pics though because I just can't be bothered with the ooooh, keep it standard comments, especially as my wheels are Fox RS and not a style that is associated with a BMW, unlike your LM style.
I'm amazed at how many people want to see standard M3's. I have fallen in love with my M3 because it looks great, is quick and fun. It has had a far greater impact on me than I ever thought it would. But I just don't see an E36 M3 as rare or special enough to worry about keeping standard, sorry. I already have a car that would not benefit from stuff like after market wheels, and to me my M3 is all the more fun because it is so mod-able. Have to say, I think bog standard ones look a bit bland IMHO, but each to their own. Get your car lowered though, you know it makes sense laugh
