My 116i and my friend's 116i

ovekvam · 07-10-2012, 01:02 PM

Black wheels are practical for track driving to hide the brake dust, but I have to agree with Thomas that those wheels look a lot better in silver. But then again, I have a slightly weird taste in rims. Many people don't like the ones I chose.

they are unique, are those bbs?

BBS LeMans replicas in 17".

This is what I like from BBS, 17"

They remind me of BMW's 405M wheels, just smaller

.

Tiny update for my VO:

Now with rear tinted windows

1thomas · 07-13-2012, 10:33 AM

Thats why I ordered them from the factory! Just looks good!

Still like the wheels.. I probably should get me some dual-5-spokes next year. I miss my E87 182M wheels...

max2005b · 07-13-2012, 12:26 PM

well of course I would prefer original tinted windows but the prices of any optional additions here in Israel are absurd.
Tinted windows would cost approx 5,000 NIS which is 1000 Euros.
I payed for high quality aftermarket tinting only 200 euros.

1thomas · 07-13-2012, 12:46 PM

Ok, factory sun prot. windows were 300€ listprice here...

[QUOTE=max2005b;12113156]Hi guys,

Just received our new cars.
We both ordered 116i, manual gearbox.

Mine is Valencia Orange, my friend's is Crimson Red.

Right away we installed 18" pre-ordered alloys.

Sizes on both cars: Rear: 245/35R18, Front: 225/40R18 88Y Goodyear Run Flats.

What is the width of the front and rear????

Any chance of getting the pictures to work again?
