Are you keeping the bbs centre caps or fitting BMW ones?

Sars if you find BMW centre caps then your lucky, if you do let me know where from.

I'm not sure that I want the BMW centre caps as I quite like the BBS ones. As for the wheels I see you have excellent taste too

Why thank you, I did initially wnat to swap em to BMW caps but have come to love the BBS centre caps, Especially after I saw the same wheels and caps on a Ferrari.

I like the wheel but i dont personally think they look right on the e89 for some reaon, they look really small.

Probably the 19" would fill the wheel arch better, but the ride would be the worse for it, but tbh I just so love these wheels

 

[AJF]

They look even better in the flesh,

Had them on for a few weeks now and have completed a 1000 miles or so on the Goodyear F1 A2, have to say I find the handling better, response, feel and turn in have definitely improved, they are also quiet at least as quiet as the 17" alloys, however they do not damp road imperfections as well as the 17". Overall I love the wheels and non-RFT.

One concern though I have noticed a drop in fuel economy, it may well be that at 51,900 miles my plugs really do need replacing, which is happening next week, however bigger wheels are generally less fuel efficient.
