Nice brake calipers

Stunning car though!

rG-tom · 31 Mar 2012 at 22:16

Yea the brake calipers are lolworthy aren't they

Princey · 31 Mar 2012 at 22:18

Get some silver hammerite on them. It'll finish the car off a treat.

Burned_Alive · 31 Mar 2012 at 22:19

Are they genuine 313s?

agw_01 · 31 Mar 2012 at 22:25

Further to that, are they staggered?

Looks absolutely wicked though

They definitely suit your car better than the white 3 series we saw.

they are indeed staggered 9 inch rears and 8 inch fronts

no they're not, but they're bloody good reps, very impressed with them.

oh and the interior:

I know, awesomely interesting colour scheme eh

Burned_Alive · 31 Mar 2012 at 23:03

How much were they and where from? If I have any more issues with cracking on these wheels (Its constantly on my mind), I might look at some.

rG-tom · 31 Mar 2012 at 23:14

Trust messaged

you received it?

Burned_Alive · 31 Mar 2012 at 23:18

Yeah... found the relevant thread though now too

Should've got the CSL reps!

rG-tom · 31 Mar 2012 at 23:25

Nah CSL reps are overdone and obviously aftermarket, I really like my cars to look OEM.

Arent they a geniune BMW Performance accessory now?

Got me looking at different wheels now... VMR 710 are gorgeous (variation on CSL style).

Easy when you're not paying the bill!

The attractiveness of the reps is that they're cheap to replace when they inevitably get damaged. Obviously this wouldnt be the case if I paid out for BBS wheels! Whether BBS would be less likely to be cracked or damaged in this setup, I dont know.

When are you going to finally get some BBS LMs for the E39?

CH's are nothing like as bonkers priced as LM's though - they are about a third of the price!

I'm not, because the Style 37 happens to be one of the best, if not THE best, OEM BMW Wheel style ever and I love them

CSL's are overdone, but so are replica 313's - at least the CSL's look good

.

I don't like the 313's at all, sorry (although i recognise i am well and truly in the minority with this POV)! Or that shiny steering wheel! Love the rest of the car though.
