Nice motor. I've had my 35i for just over a couple of months now and love it. I've ordered the retrofit side repeaters for mine too as look loads better.

Nice. Interesting choice those 224s. I always thought the standard 35is wheels looked very similar.

Your 35i looks very smart OP.
I hope you can get the niggly bits sorted easily, then just enjoy!

I like Black Zeds they shine up nice but also get dirty very quickly, what's the interior colour. And lose the blue callipers go for gloss black.

I'm liking the 224's on an E89, any chance of some photos from a bit further back?
Silver calipers all the way! Nice and subtle, I think they suit a black car well

just put the socket on the nut and pinch them up slowly if the creaking is evident you will feel the slack on the thread 1/4 turn maybe.

The recommended torque (for a tower-mounted strut brace) depends on car model & make of brace, of course.
(A common number for BMWs and their braces seems to be 30Nm.)

I would drop the 224's in a heartbeat if I could get my hands on a set of those 326's . But, the market's pretty limited here, so I'm happy with the 224's (for now...). Aren't the 326's 19" as well? Could make the ride a bit harsh.

The interior's black with brushed aluminium. I had gloss black calipers on the E85 and still have some paint left, so that will probably be the final result. Although, silver does look nice on black.... )

I'll see if I can take pics from further back after work tonight. Thanks for the photo of your 35i, I wasn't sure if my Sapphire Black Z4 was supposed to have those grey tones, but looking at yours it clearly does. I always thought sapphire was blue, but hey ho...

It kind of takes on grey's and blue's around it. The gravel there makes grey tones stand out more whereas if you park it on clean tarmac with clear skies it'll almost look blue.
As with any black it's a bugger to keep clean, I told myself I'd never have a black car again after the last one yet here we are
