Go for it mate, it looks great and will be unique. Which colour are you after? I prefer the matte black

I assume your tyre needs replacing soon too?
An excuse for yourself to do it

Yeah, i will only go for matte black IF i do buy them! ha ha!

I will go down to advan and check out prices sometime soon....

I JUST replaced rear tyres after i found out the alignment was very bad - the rear tyres were worn down so bare. If i didnt change them straight away it would of been too dangerous to keep driving.

If I am the service advisor from BMWHK, I would answer you below:

We are sorry that we couldn't do retrofit to the particular parts since it's not buying from us.
Furthermore we would think your car can be retrofitted the said component with the following option added:
A new SMG tranny including new system programming. That would cost you about HKDxxx,xxx (side note: this figure could cost more than your car)
Are you sure you wish to proceed with this retrofit, sir?
