Cool! I was almost going to guess that those pics were taken at TAMK in Salo!

I just drove by there yesterday...

Anyway, again, welcome to the forums!!

I took some pics yesterday, see this post, and simply inverted the colours on one of the pictures using MS Paint and it came up with this...



Makes the wheels look very aggressive. Maybe worth trying out with some of your pics too

Great looking car PIT M3, very individual with the rims

Those ACS mirrors looks great. I was considering those recently, but couldn't work out from the ACS web-site what functionality they have... so, what functionality do they have?!
These mirrors do not have any special functionality ..
Mirror housing cannot be moved, turned, etc. .. For adjustment you have to use the drive of the original mirrors (including all cables)... and they are heated.
Most important for me was the style and the size.

I was just looking through the Gallery section and found these pics of motomoto09's E61
Its one of the hottest E61s I've ever seen -- the colour, m-sport, drop and rims combo are just awesome!

(I haven't seen it posted here in the E61 forum -- I'm sure he/she doesn't mind )

Hi Gentlemen!

Hope everything is fine for you. A special thanks to xBMWx who took the time to answer my previous messages. Just for his information, the front carbon part isn't an ACS one but a BMW one.

I didn't post anything for a while simply because there's nothing new for the time being. Just the spacers have to be installed on saturday the 8th of august. I don't do it by BMW but by ATU. They will be 10mm. And here in Germany, it seems that it's not possible to install more than this. I will get a paper from the T?V. So, I'm wondering how do you proceed to get install 15mm spacers or bigger??

See you.

See you.

15mm spacers are possible in Germany. I know because T?V Germany INSISTED that I had 15mm spacers on my E61 instead of 10mm spacers, because there was not enough distance between the rim and air suspension. (This is for my M172/128 rims, both with ET32.) Sounds like you have received false information.

What are your wheel dimensions and do you only want spacers on the rear?


btw, the car's still looking great

Pricing issues aside, those AC Schnitzer wheels do seem like the most fit to this car of any i've seen yet
