Looking good!


Is it just me, or do rims generally look bigger on the Tourings
My 128s look huge on my Touring, i.e. bigger than on my previous E60

Interesting question. And I agree!

When I had my anti-sway bar installed on Monday by a non-BMW mechanic friend of mine, he asked me why I would have 20" wheels for winter tires... Then I showed him that they are "only" 18s.

Dave's ACS wheels however, are HUGE!

what were the results? I assume its power / top speed etc. Was it in line with the factory claimed specs or has yours been remapped?

Nice and sort of evil at the same time.

What Angel Eyes are those? They are much cleaner or whiter than mine!
