Hi all, So yesterday I finally got my new alloys fitted! I went down the aftermarket solution and I couldn't be happier with the end result! After a lot of research online I was overwhelmed by the amount of choice and was really uncertain about what sizes I could fit on the car, what were good...

Sorry to hear that mate, I shall avoid at all costs - thanks for the heads up! Yes I had started to look at 18" alloys, newb question alert, my current alloys are different widths front and back, what's the reason for that, and if I went down to 18" would they also need to be 9" rear and 8"...

Hi all! On Saturday I picked up my new Z4 2.5 23i sDrive 2010. And I'm absolutely loving it so far, sure the suspension is a little hard and the roof is a little creaky at times but it's an absolute joy to drive and I cannot wait for this weather to brighten up so I can drop the roof! I used to...
