At the request of many, better pics to come

Nikki · 10-20-2008, 07:21 PM

So I've gotten a lot of requests to hurry and put on the BBS and take pics so here they are! Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, I will get some better ones soon. And no comments on the dirty car please

I just washed it last week but it gets dirty so fast since it isn't garaged and it's black.

Dammmittt · 10-20-2008, 07:25 PM

Not sure how I feel about it, maybe I'll look for your car later this week. So I can see it in person

Haha, yeah I felt the same way when I put the on my 3 but really I think the difference is all in the photos. I think they look better on the Z than my e90 but the pics aren't great. Here's a shot I took of them on the 3.

MMMazing07 · 10-20-2008, 07:46 PM

damn that looks awesome. RGRs are my fav wheels

painted reflectors would be topping on the cake

quickfast · 10-20-2008, 08:14 PM

...she jacks. +1

F360C · 10-20-2008, 08:22 PM

Wow that looks incredible and I am not just saying that! It actually makes me think I should have gotten black instead of white! Are those winter tires though?

Nikki · 10-20-2008, 08:32 PM

Yeah winter tires, Bridgestone Blizzaks

why put the new wheels with the blizzaks?

Nikki · 10-20-2008, 09:11 PM

They're not new, I got them last year used and I had my e90 then with the stock runflats. Since I was leasing the e90 I had to return the car with the stock wheels and tires so I decided to just buy winters for the BBS. It made sense because I needed winter tires/rims and didn't want to have two sets of summer tires or have to swap the stock tires to winters and then back to the stock runflats again.

/end story lol

ahh ok got it...looks good

GP20 · 10-20-2008, 09:47 PM

Avoid those OEM scissor jacks at all costs. I used it TWICE when I uninstalled and then installed the painted rear reflectors. The 2nd time I was using it, the jack went from straight to starting to bend to completely broken up in pieces in a matter of minutes.

Oh and the RGR's look awesome.

Nikki · 10-20-2008, 09:59 PM

Yeah I was nervous but I couldn't fit all the tires in my car to bring them to the garage I usually go to.

JCz04Bimmer · 10-20-2008, 10:01 PM

Love the wheels. Can't go wrong with BBS really.

By the way, this is Jared! I just made the connection that you're Dave's g/f! Right?

How was the AutoX? And I waxed my car this weekend and if its of any comfort, I had the same streaking you had that only came off with another round of pressing harder.

Nikki · 10-20-2008, 10:18 PM

Haha no way? AutoX was really fun, I have some videos of the Z in action on my facebook.

Aww that sucks about the streaking, I guess we're both weak lol. BTW Dave is a good friend of mine but no longer b/f.

Woops! My bad!

Glad the AutoX was fun... I'll be making it my business to get to as many events next season. Are there any more coming up?

And speaking of wheels, I finally managed to complete the set I've been pulling together for the M. I now have a grand total of 11, yes 11, SSR Comp-H wheels in various 19" fitments. Its comical how many of these wheels I've collected. If you ever want to pick up a set of lightweight 19's, I'm your guy...

Nikki · 10-20-2008, 10:36 PM

BMWCCA autoXes are done for the year but I think there may be some more coming up for other clubs. Haha wow where do you keep 11 wheels? lol yeah I may be interested next year.

I have them down at my parent's place in NJ for now. Yeah, living in Beacon Hill kind of prevents me from having any space for anything car related. Though I do have all the parts I've been yanking off my 3er in the second bedroom waiting to get shipped out...

But ya, for the non-M you could easily run 19x8's up front and 19x8.5's out back for a very slightly staggered setup. Or just 19x8's all around to keep is square and track-tastic. And they only weigh in at 20lbs. Ok, I'm done with my shameless plug.

BTW, are those RGR's the same width all around?

Nikki · 10-20-2008, 10:56 PM

haha yes 18 x 8.5 all around, less understeer!

SDTopless · 10-21-2008, 12:05 AM

lookin good

OH FO SHO · 10-21-2008, 01:24 AM
