What have you done to your E89 today

[Reamesy]

I do miss 437M wheels

 

[Reamesy]

Everyone raves about. BMW service. I would much prefer a trusted indi if it were not required for warranty work.

They look very OEM

Definitely more pleasing to the eye than the standard ones.

 

[Reamesy]

They ride better too. Not as harsh. I’m hunting

Any intricate brackets needed, or bolt on?

Are they from a 1 series, or new Z4?

I was just thinking how good it would look with the modern callipers earlier today!

Yeah, off an m140i, straight fit.

Will you need the corresponding splash guards and M40 discs and brake flexi lines?

I've got the discs, pads, and sensor. I did wonder about the splash guards. Not sure on the flexi hoses yet. I'll suss it out in due course, unless @B21 can advise?

Splash guards won't work as the F series front knuckle is very different..best to trim back E89 35/35is splashguards IMHO.. hoses will probably be OK..of course they will be new stainless types..

As the weather was forgiving today, I decided to give it a clean, ready for the breakfast meet on Sunday.

Look forward to the pictures when you have these on. What are you doing with the rears?

I could sell him one of my F10 5 series based rear BBK kits!-

 

[KHe89Z4]

Fitted a pair of 10mm spacers on the rears today. Nothing on the front but even the 9” wide 326m rears sit visually quite inboard. 10mm not aggressive figment but just fills out the arches enough to create a nice match with the standard fitment of the fronts (to my eye anyway). Very OEM+ which is my personal preference.

Did all the roof seals with gummi pflege as the wind noise was an irritant. A bit better but not reduced enough. Sounds like it’s coming from right behind my ears so I suspect it’s where the rear window panel seals down on to the rear deck. Anyone have any other good suggestions on ways to alleviate the noise ?

Painting them

I'll leave the rears as is.

Check the side window alignment. The door window can be adjusted.

Thanks. I will add that to the check list when it goes in.
