On the wheels - I got a couple of really good quotes from dealers so am thinking about them. ?1000 exc tyres but still a lot cheaper than the 172 style which are like ?1450. Can't decide between the two of them.

 

Will do, and thanks much. We'll be out of the snow then. We are staying in the V&A Museum area.

Excellent. Even if we have a heavy snowfall our public transport (within the city at least) is OK but just a quick heads-up there is talk of a tube-strike on New Year's Eve in London. If it goes ahead, get your concierge to book your cabs to/from your evening location (if you're going out that is)

Have fun.

ps - not sure if you mean V&A in Cromwell Rd or Tavistock St - but both are ace locations for visitors
[/quote]Ah, Cromwell Rd. I was not aware of the other location. We sort of avoid going out on New Year's Eve--like the plague. But, thanks for the heads up. We'll just eat somewhere in the neighborhood. There also is a nice little French resturant that opened up last year on Old Brompton Rd--as I recall. We told them we would see them again this year. Maybe we'll go there. The year before it was a very good Italian resturant. I would love some nice snow, but ice is no fun. But, darn if it snows, then the Ferarri and Lambo that take turns "racing" up and down the street in front of the V&A might not be out and about. And, worse, the only McLaren SLR I've seen on the road may not be hanging out on Old Bromton this year. Oh well, whatever. Thanks again for all.

 

WOW talk about dirty! hahah

 

Thanks.

I got a good discount on the 166s which made my mind up. But you're right that they're already less than the 172s (which I was quoted ?1,540 for).

That is a nice looking E60

But are you meaning that 166 rims costs less than 172's???

PS. Your car do not look dirt at all, you haven't
seen a E60 after 1000 km's on salty roads :thumbsdown:

 

Yesssss. Unbelievably in the UK the 172 rims are more expensive than the 166 rims fitted as standard to the M5. Cant quite figure out why as I would have expected the M5 rims to cost significantly more. Both rims look great through.

 

I suppose you seen this thread:

They are looking as art...


BTW, what did you do with your standard M-pack rims?
And styling what are they?


I pic of the 172's to follow the discussing:

I could offer you ?1000 for your 135 wheels.

 

If we are turning this into a wheel discussion check the link below. The 172 rims look very nice as well -
