Had her for just a couple of weeks and here's the first photos I've taken.

Probably my favourite snap

First job is changing the wheels, not a fan.

And here I was thinking that those wheels look pretty good! But then I usually like a "spokey" look.
What are you planning on replacing them with?

Beautiful Zed, by the way.

Haha, I've only cleaned them a few times and they are a nightmare!

Might hold onto them and look into getting bmw centre caps, not had time yet.
 
Those wheels look not bad, need BMW centres a you say. But a real bugger to clean also which is why I would probably get rid.
 
Wheels look great m8 ! Don't go for 108's problems with corrosion
& mv'2 are murder to keep clean too ! Get yourself a small stiff brush & you can do those wheels in jig time. Think they suit your car .

Father, what would you know about cleaning MV2's?! You have a young slave to do them for you!
 
Great looking motor. Same sentiments on the wheels. Like them. Had a set on my old Z3 and although tricky to keep clean were worth the look.

Simple matter to resolve. Wait until we have a warm day (you may need to be patient!). Remove rear inside-wheel-arch plastic panel and leave for a few hours. Then with panel still removed, take car flr a drive so warm air can circulate. Replace panel, voila! Recommend buying a new plastic panel from BMW as thats probably the root of the problem and they only cost about 12 squid.

Noticed some very slight misting in mine after washing which went away shortly after, but I did see the panel has a gap at the top even though it's secure - does the plastic just deform over time then ? If so, I'll be getting a couple of new ones :thumbsup:

Ah cheers for that, that was something I was away to check the forum for a solution for that.

I think I might have been a bit hasty on the wheels front, seem to be well received on here! I'm gonna give them a few months and see what i think, I'll get a set of centre caps, thats maybe what I'm seeing is missing.

Appreciate the input guys.
