Seems really tricky to find a 3.0 with 107's? Anybody know why? All 107's seem to be on 2.0 or 2.5's?! Been on the lookout for some time now 😞
looks like the OP has gone quiet so Id jump in with both feet if I were you :D
Quite a few on here with 107's on their 3.0's, here's my 3.0 auto at the Z meet at Beaulieu this year

Hi, the car originally came with 108s but I loved the look of 107s so swapped them and sold the 108s. The OP may be busy due to Christmas etc . I will get the Z4 washed and waxed over the weekend and a proper for sale add in the correct section and who ever wants to view first gets first refusal. I’m very confident whoever sees it first will want it
BMW E89 3.5i M Sport manual, loving it….
Audi S5 Cab, Great car but not special enough….
BMW E89 3.5i DCT, Havana Brown, should never have sold it…..

Thanks for the replies! 107's are certainly the right wheels for the car in my humble opinion. If the sale hits any hitches let me know, can't yet pm :? . I will post a separate 'wanted' post shortly, just trying to decide how picky to be :evil: As for jumping in with both feet...perhaps not in an Auto! Keep that left foot clear :P

Thanks for the reply! I've just seen the pics in the other thread! It's a beautiful looking car, much more unique but there is just something about sterling and 107's that I'm drawn to regardless of my lacklustre search thus far!

Know what you mean Scott
I’ve a feeling I might be looking for the colour combination I want on the e89 for some time, don’t seem to be many 3.5 s about at the moment
