It will fly through with no issues, after all it has a WOOD dash!

It's the 189s for me. Aftermarket wheels never look good in 18 inch on the zed, the 107/8s, mv2s etc always look better to me. 19inch is another matter, but like you say it effects the ride quality

Both look good to me just go with your gut - ive just got csl reps to replace 16 inch originals and now my mine looks like a proper sports car but each to their own

I actually prefer the CSLs on your car - they suit the colour of the car etc.

I wouldn’t have them myself, but I think they look good in your pic.

And in case any wonders... I’m still rocking the 19” black cades from ErrErrminator ... everyday they make me smile lol. Never been so happy over wheels before

Had quite a bit of dirt and mold at the base of the roof in here. Took quite a bit of scrubbing but is looking heaps better now

Took the Zed out in the rain.

Drove up to Brum and back to pick up Mrs G's new wheels.

Washed and nice and warm, back in the garage now.

Had the clutch delay valve removed. The clutch action is SO much better.

Cheers, tug

Car went in for an oil service and Sytner High Wycombe today. That’s it’s seventh service in 9 and a half years and 135k miles, all services carried out at BMW main dealers on time and within mileage. Requires a litre of oil every 10k miles and still pulls like a train and gives amazing fuel economy on the motorway. Infact the engine feels stronger that when I bought the car 5 and a half years ago with 50k on the clock. I’m looking forward to taking her to 200k

Thanks tug
When you both said about how much better it was , thought I’d better ask... better is always good.... unfortunately it’s something I can’t do as mines auto.... fair play for letting everyone know about it though, that’s what makes this such a great forum
