Your car really looks awesome!!

What are your impressions of the 3.0 engine? Mines almost done 8000km now and it just feels (and sounds) better and better!

Cheers

Since you have the 258 version, the difference isn't that big. Ok, I'm still in "running in mode" so I haven't used it's full potential... but what is obvious is the more "meaner" sound. As we are off for Germania tomorrow I'll be back with a full review of the car in the latter part of next week.

The biggest improvement is according to me a) the more luxiours interior, a big improvement! and the b) auto box, especially if you go for the 2TB sport auto.

I bought them from salesafter.de - excellent service and very competitive prices.

They are actually four front wheels, as the Touring doesn't take the split dimensions without adding a spacer. And I thought it was a bit wide with spacers so I settled with front wheels.

Following your decision, I am going with 19" as well. I convinced my dealer to trade in the OEM wheels with four front M5 166 rims. Unfortunately it is damn difficult to find 245/35 19 run flat tyres. The only available in Italy at present, in this size, are Pirelli Euforia and the dealer did not want to sell them to me because I gonna have problems. The other available are Dunlop Sport 01 but available only through BMW Italy and they decide to sell them at EUR 451 + VAT each tyre. So I just came back from BMW Niederlassung Munich with four tyres in the boot and I spent only EUR 290 each. Not so bad considering that the journey costed about EUR 120 and I saved more than EUR 500.

OK, now I need to listen to a facelifted 530
I'm looking forward to hear about your review

I like your style Marco - good work getting those rims sorted Looking forward to some more pics of an E61 m-sport with OEM 19s If narvselius' ride is anything to go by, yours will also look fantastic...
