wow! thank you!

it's pretty simple... bits of all my favorite z's, "M and non M", combined. a good formula.

so really... everyone who follows this thread... THANK YOU. more than likely, your car has inspired me in one way or another. your paint, your wheels, your decision to modify, your decision to stay stock, your decision to track, your decision to love your car, and most important of all... your decision to post pics... are all reasons this car exists the way it does.

I love the shots. I had some of my shots critiqued in the photo section and one of the comments was the garage shots were played out. Might be played out, but for me it was the first time I had shot my car in the garage. And personally, there's nothing like seeing a beautiful car in the setting of a dirty and dingy garage. For me it makes the beauty of the car stand out amongst all the ugliness.

That's the nicest 5 spoke design wheel I've seen on our cars. Fits like a glove. Well done

bah!

i will never understand how any picture can be claimed as played out. if you walk up to your car and notice a good photo opportunity, are you going to say "no, i better not. people i don't know may not like it"...? silliness.

take the shot and post it. as long as there's a z involved, it'll be good.

Aries326 · 10-25-2011, 12:58 PM

So I showed my wife pictures of your MC. She actually likes the coupe better than my roadster. I wonder if she'd let me have one of each? :-)

gatorfast · 10-25-2011, 01:54 PM

Those wheels look fantastic. Wish they fit the M coupe.

My bad. There are so many more M owners here than 3.0si guys that I forgot you're one of the 3.0si owners. :-)

She actually wanted me to get one an e89. She doesn't like the soft top of the e85. What's cool about her is she can actually drive my car. I may wait for the prices to come down a year or two, get some use out of this one and then trade it in. But knowing me, I'll probably just keep this thing forever. Or at least until my son is old enough and responsible enough to drive it and I'm too old to get in and out of it.

Looks very nice!

sleepyro · 03-08-2012, 04:09 PM

looks perfect. nice pics!

troysico · 11-06-2012, 05:28 AM

Just to confirm to the masses before I purchase, will these fit sans rub on oem suspension and will they rub with coilovers dropped 1" all around?

FR: 19x9 ET35 (or can do ET38) w/ 245/40/19
RR: 19x10 ET25 w/ 275/35/19 (I want 285s though!!!)

Thank you to the masses!!!

Jaguar_7777 · 11-07-2012, 06:29 PM

Well after a long month or so wait, the new 18in 313's finally arrived.

They fit great and are a huge improvement on the original elypical 202's i think, that are boxed up now for sale in Hong Kong...

Thanks for the help and advise to all from this thread!!!!

Just a few more days and the BMW Performance brake kit goes on as well.
