X-MAS GIFT 540I 6 Spd

[Boone.Msi]

the car looks great, i wouldnt bother with getting new wheels.

The shadowline is the trim around the windows, black instead of chrome(look at my sig for comparison)

I say all you need is blacked out kidneys, euro tails/corners/markers and youve got a perfect ride.

rnrn & Boone.Msi,

Thanks for the input. I also agree '20 would definitely be too big! Plus I live in the city and we're always worried about potholes.

The car has ~129k Miles. The rims are 17s BBS and I am not sure of the style. What do you guys mean by "shadow lines". Is it possible to fit '20 rims on these E-34s?

Rocky, you would need to have 'rocks-in-yer-head' (pun intended) to fit 20" rims on an E34... even 19"s are too big.

18"s are realistically as big as you should go.

20" rims will...

1. Destroy any ride comfort
2. Destroy your front end components faster (due to increased unsprung weight and lack of sidewall cushioning)
3. Destroy themselves everytime you hit a pothole
4. Reduce your acceleration (due to increased mass)
5. Increase your braking distance (due to increased mass)
6. And cost you a fortune in accelerated tyre wear (20" tyres are expensive!)

Okay, I'm done now!

not to mention look awful.

LOL....Thanks for the Great Info!

Yeh I saw that on autotrader. I believe it has been repainted. It says something about vandalism on the carfax which would explain the very clean paint. Very nice car!

Ah...haaaa.... Thanks!

I'll have to check into the vandalism claim. The gentleman stated he had it painted because of fading paint due to the Arizona "sun".

Thanks, T

Well, there IS no accounting for taste.I like the wheels on it now. I wouldn't give changeing them a second thought.

Thanks Jehu,

I might look into finding wider rims for the rear. I like wide "lips"
