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.

Nasty. Nasty.
CU in London in a few days.
Our annual London and points beyond trip begins then. How's the weather in London, France, and Belgium this year?
Nasty. Nasty.

We had a little snow shower in central london but it never settles here unlike in the outskirts. Just bl**dy cold. Bring some warm clothes!!!
Have a safe journey!

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.

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.

Found by Search and the word BBS (and less than 1 month old).
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:

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