Black Wheels on Silver e89

Post by JammieMonster » Tue Jul 11, 2017 6:44 pm

Hi All,

Just put down a deposit on a Z4 20i I am picking up on Monday. The dealership offered to change the colour of the 326m alloys from silver to black for me. I haven't seen this before especially on a silver car and couldn't find any examples online.

What are your thoughts on the Silver e89 with Black alloys? Worth getting them to do it for me or will it look silly?

EDIT: For reference this is the car before they do the wheels:

I'm all for black wheels on the right car, however that looks the business silver on silver - I'd leave as is :thumbsup:

Yes, I'd stick to silver wheels on a silver Z. :thumbsup:

Nothing wrong with black wheels on the right car, but I don't think a silver car is the right one! :lol:

I'd planned on getting a silver or grey Zed earlier this year and combining it with black alloys and roof. All down to preference really but not sure the 326's would be the right choice. They look too good as they are but maybe the roof is an option?

I've got black wheels on my White E89 but you should stay with silver wheels on your Silver E89 :thumbsup:

Looks OK on the right car but usually makes it look like a pimp's motor.
