Happy New Year to you too! Not original BBS but good copies with staggered offset for the rears.

Looks really good, the cost of real bbs rims is crazy circa 2-3k for a set of 17's

True but they are the type of wheel that seems to suit almost every car! Picked mine up for a reasonable price including tyres, they are 18"s and i've lowered the car slightly to suit.

Cheers bud, bike will be inside until spring which will give me a bit more time to do some bits to it. I want to get a de-cat Y pipe for it next and polish up the cans whilst they're off.

Love the E46 Converts - considering one myself after I get a family wagon sorted. I love BBS alloys too. Good choice.

Couple of questions if you don't mind?

How big are the back seats - would a couple of baby seats fit?

How rattly is it being a soft top? My hard top BMWs have always been solid and rattle free.

Cheers. smile

I have no rattles at all and it is leak free.I think the E46s are generally very reliable cars and the convertibles have excellent roofs.Easy to live with and with the headlining you can almost forget you are in a convertible car. You should be able to get a couple of car seats in but it might be a bit tight.My days of baby seats are luckily over now!
