You know, even the indestructable Toyota Camry does near 60% drop in just 3 years time. So you must be super luck to have E60 which resell at better rate?
it was not luck it was good timing like now.
Buy cheap sell normel.
My old E60 had 10% discount too so I only loss out about 40% over 5 years.
That is so funny the woman that got my car owns a Camry before and said the same thing.
Looks like Camry car are not that good in the 2nd hand market.

These are very heavy rims IMO ...
they are only Weight: 26.0lbs. for 19" so for $3400hk I dont think you can find any other rim the same or better.
I know that your BBS are abit lighter but not much more Weight: 24.5lbs.
http://www.bbs-usa.com/
for the 1.5lbs lighter at a $7000 extra
if I was on the track then I will get lighter.
but for HK roads no worth it. My 2 cent

BTW are your from japan or us

Oh perhaps breyton is producing light weight wheels nowadays.
This name Breyton represents heavy wheels during the E36 Era I think ?
My wheels are made in Japan.

I think over the years they improve on the making of the wheels.

I'm a broke after changing those LMs ... I choose the LMs because of their looks, to me, BMW with BBS is a symbol of classic.
Been thinking of this kind of setup since I was a child.

I agree but only on old BMW like e30 or 650i.
these will look very nice on AK e30 white car.
