yeh same here
and i know i went of 20" rims and guess what ,,, i now want them lol
 
R1Andy, those 20" wheels you had on a bit back, do you remember how much more they stuck out at the rear (you mentioned rubbing). I'm considering some new wheels, sticking with 19" tho, and they stick out by 10mm and I'm wondering if this will rub...
 
The back wheels did not stick out, they where aprox 2mm in from the wheel arch, but they rubbed big time
I needed to cut the inner guard away and roll the arch to allow this to work, I have H&R sprigs on as well.
Not to sure if I would put a wheel on that came past the arch, hit a big bump and it could possible damage the arch

Cheers
 
Sorry what I meant by stick out was that the wheels I'm looking at come out 10mm more than the stock wheels. Not sure if this will interfere with the arch or still be inside them.
 
Anybody used this company, what's price like?

Just worried about longevity... smart top and a remap are tempting, both make me wonder if I might break something tho given these cars aren't the most reliable... me and wheels, hpfp etc, you and turbos, wheels etc... tempting fate to start altering them from OEM?
 
In my owners manual it says the roof operates while moving at up to 40kph that's without smart top. Still have to hold the button though. I'll try it tomorrow. It says not if its windy or driving over rough ground.

Yes, depends on model year.
 
If it does BMW must be ok with opening on the move without damage. Smart top would be safer I think, rather than holding a button while driving. It opens and closes from remote, just tried it. But again you have to hold the button.
