It has 35k miles. I just drove 35,100.

Sorry!

 

Welcome to the site.

Definitely some "interesting" wheels you've got there. One thing I always notice when I see wheels like that on cars at the dealership is the offset is horribly wrong. It seems the dealers don't understand the concept of staggered wheels with flush offsets.

It sounds like you're into the handling aspect of this car so I'm assuming you'll be on the lookout for some lightweight forged wheels?

 

who can say nismo rims?

 

I'm a big fan of Volk and I definitely love the forged design but I'd like to do something different than the biggest lip possible.

Maybe a bbs style.....I was once like you guys dreaming of the M3 when its all right here fellas for 20k-25k!

 

But what about BMWs superior service department? Where they serve cappuccino in the waiting area, and play classical music on the PA system?

 

Well if I had to pay for BMW service{$$$$} they'd have to be serving liquor, not cappuccino.

 

haha +1
nice ride btw, both old and new

 

Welcome man! Can't wait to see your ride with some new wheels!

 

One good thing is almost any normal color (black, silver, gunmetal, gold, bronze) wheels look good with Lemans Sunset. And, with this car, you will an excellent selection to choose from. The main point is getting wheels with the appropriate offsets.


Oh - and I don't dream of M3's, I embarrass them.

 

Taurran I love your car, its so clean, are you running on a built engine? If not 412 RWHP is pretty high for a stock block daily driver. Id love to turbo, then Id never event think of the M3, I would just like around 330-350 RWHP for daily driver, should be able to spank most cars with that.

 

BMW service is quite horrid. If you haven't experienced it, I woudn't wish it on my worst enemy.

And this is while im UNDER WARRANTY. I can't imagine what the experience would be like if I wasn't.

Since there is a rather large warranty window for new bmw's, they are flooded with people getting their, oil changed, brakes and recalls done. So if you actually wanted to come in for an actuall problem (window won't roll up), you'd have to schedule it 2 weeks in advance. Then when you get there, they mension that since you installed aftermarket speakers in the door, "you might not be in warranty". They make you sign a $150 receipt, just in case.

I pulled in yesterday to the nissan dept. No lines, no waiting. No one was there! I wonder why? Because the cars actually work! haha

Well I shouldn't say that. Let's see how many problems I can accrue.

As is, I already have a flashing air bag light. I am told by the previous owner that is an audio problem. The 10" rear speaker was missing. I will install a new one today and hopefully that will kill the problem.

 

you think bms's are crappy.....just wait!!

Do I have to buy new brembo rotors to fit these calipers or can I use my stock non-brembo rotors.

 

You have to buy brembo rotors.

 

Thats a rip off. some people sell rotors, hats, lines capipers and all hardware for that much on the classifieds section.

 

Thanks Plumpzz. I almost bid on them.


Do you know who makes this rim?

 

Work Emotions CR kai, tires looks small though

 

Not sure who makes those off the top of my head, somebody on here will know for sure though. They do look very similar to the G35's rims.

I'll echo your BMW service rant. Several family members and friends have pretty much said the exact same words as yours.

 

come on!!! i got my Intake and HKS Exhuast when i had under 1k miles..
u need to start on it!

 

Welcome!
