ENJOY!

Endless619 · 08-27-2011, 02:06 AM

As a E46 M3 owner I must say in these photos it is really showing its age.. I dont even drive mine anymore....lol

The Z4 looks so more modern/updated to me in these photos.. Either way these look sweet.

zavo · 08-27-2011, 02:15 AM

white looks amazing!!!

Marvins1987 · 08-27-2011, 04:41 AM

Smurf Blue

Jk. Its Laguna Seca Blue.

Love both BMWs. Always loved M3 in Smurf Blue. And the Z4 is just stunning.

I don't think the E46 could ever look dated. It just looks good.

I like the white on white, but for some reason, I don't like the silver on blue.

inTgr8r · 08-27-2011, 08:39 AM

That M3 is fabulous!
LSB has long been one of my favourite colours.

XMetal · 08-27-2011, 10:05 AM

Love the white on white look. Just out of curiosity...what's the up keep on those wheels? I mean how long can you run before they turned offwhite (gray)...5 miles?

Etch52 · 08-27-2011, 11:00 AM

The white wheels look amazing on a white car.
Knocks it up a notch on the $$$ scale on looks alone.
Best B/W combination I've seen

ZStig · 08-27-2011, 01:00 PM

the silver is too shiny for the LSB

Very true, and don't even get me started on the E30, that's sooo old hat.

Everything is better than black rims. I like the sliver ones.
I think both sliver and the white one would suite my coupe

Eccentric · 08-27-2011, 07:01 PM

white.. omg

kaiv · 08-27-2011, 09:57 PM

As the former owner of the white wheels I can answer the upkeep question... it's a bitch!

A couple of days are enough turn them grey. I used to wash the barrels at each of my weekly car wash. It's definitely more work than silver/black wheels but it is certainly worth it. I think Cmark8's car looks fantastic with them

mfanatic325 · 08-27-2011, 10:41 PM

Good shit! Too bad I'm not down in SD, otherwise I'd throw my matte blacks in there as well for the TE37 battle

MakoBimmer1 · 08-27-2011, 11:18 PM

dUH..... white. Hands down.

AW represent! Hahaha! I must admit that the mercury silver TE37 is jaw-dropping in person... and the LSB M3 is mad crazy.

Answering another question above, I have to wipe my wheels down every four days or so. Not hard at all though as it cleans off easily. I really wish I could stay in the US for one more year...

kaiv · 08-30-2011, 02:37 AM

You should stay longer you bastard

BTW, you should get that wheel cleaner I told you about.
Spray on the faces, in the barrels. Hose down. No wiping needed other than to dry them.

That does suck you have to head back. I will be down in San Diego for a month next Summer too depending on where I want to move.

I clean my magnesium blue volks every other day and wax them.

crfine88 · 08-30-2011, 07:41 AM

epic photos! Both look awesome. Perfect color combinations

Endless619 · 08-31-2011, 06:08 PM

Kinda reminded me of this HPF M3.....white on white I saw there a few months ago... I knew I had seen that color combo somewhere..

mfanatic325 · 09-01-2011, 12:40 AM
