Finally managed to get some half decent pics of the 335i today.

I'm very happy with it so far. I plan to fit the aero front spoiler next month and I will change the wheels and ditch the run flats early next year. Any recommendations on wheels would be appreciated because I still haven't decided whether to go for 18" or 19".

18's for sure. 19's ruin the ride even more.

Smooth ride is for old men, get the good looking 19s.

Bought an S80 from my father this weekend.

Love it so far, it's the 2.4D which is the same 5 cylinder as in the D5. I may 'map' it at some poiint, or I may not. Not sure what it would do to tax and insurance and I don't particularly crave the extra power, yet anyway.

Nice big boot, sofa-esque seats, plenty of toys, decent amount of space inside...we're really chuffed, especially for the money. It's got the premium sound system apparently, which does sound very good over CDs and DAB radio.

went for a quick jaunt upto oulton park yesterday as heard there was a track day on , took the opportunity to get some better shots of my recent purchase, liking it so far :cool:

Nice, looks posh in that setting.

Here here

Another thing to consider is that one of the reasons people complain about the ride on 19s is because they're still using runflats. Switching to normal tyres helps improve things somewhat.

My rollerskate on it's not so nice trolley wheels for winter. Thought I'd give it a quick bath!

shauncr91 · 8 Dec 2013 at 19:25

I quite like them tbh

Duke · 8 Dec 2013 at 19:40

How did you take pics with it being so slippery?

[TW]Fox · 8 Dec 2013 at 20:22

Have you made the transition to winter wheels even more pointless by electing for budget and/or part worn winter tyres?

Stormster · 9 Dec 2013 at 00:22

Yeah

As in budget summers! It's quite dangerous

They're mainly to ensure I don't do any damage to my spotless alloys, but I like to live life on the edge!

Someone posts a picture of a Panamera GTS and you quote the silver on black dullsville BMW?

mrk · 9 Dec 2013 at 20:06

Dubai must be heaven for buying cars like this?

Jez · 9 Dec 2013 at 20:32

Actually from what I saw (obviously what you do when on holiday in Dubai is to look at used cars

) the UK has keener prices than Dubai as soon as you move from brand new, the UK's used market is amazing.
