?4k for the 172's and PS2's is ridiculous. SA surely cant be that expensive ?? Last time I was there it was damn cheap. Beautiful country - sitting in Blues in Camps bay drinking beer for hours on end just can't be beaten !!

SA is reasonably priced for tourists paying for accomodation & food when converting from ?'s or $'s.
But it is not the place to come & buy BMW parts or accessories!
I actually bought the tyres from Tirerack but had to get the rims on special order from BMW.
By the way if you were here around 2000/2001 you would have got over R20 for ?1, but now you will get half of that.

Compared to the UK most places are seem cheep.
I went to SA for the cricket world cup and last time was about 2 years ago on a trip to Cape Town.
I know this is detracting from the topic a bit but how did you find the change from the 135m rims to the 172m's ? The 172 look fantastic to me, especially so given they fill the arch a bit better, but does moving up to 19" harden up the ride significantly ?
