Hi im 19 and brought a BMW 316ti. Its pretty much standard and i wanna put some nicer wheels on her any ideas???

Rude?

I am a particular fan of the M-Sport rims (Tuning-Fork) ;)

Welcome mate.

MV2's look good also M3 wheels

M- sport look good but so do all the other. What u think of bbs with a bit of a dish?

You can have Staggered and/or static dish in most formats.

Depends on whether you want aftermarket or BMW/Shnitzer/Hartge rims mukka

Thanks dabsy. Also when i turn my on when its cold seems to make a random noise and the engine revs to about 2k. I got told this is normal due to having a timing chain. But just want a second opinion

Random noise? Is it like the starter fluttering?

Mine revs high at start-up, I will be sorting it out next week (With Pics), sometimes it can be a mismatch of info between ICV, MAF and ECU - Or even poor engine breathing... We'll sort it, Aaron ;)

More of a crankin sort of noise for about a second. Other than that shes a beaut Im gonna service it next week. What u driving then mate

The Black Pearl... :lol:

This noise happens for a couple of reasons... Cranking power too good, or tooth(s) missing from ring-gear (flywheel) !! I wouldn't worry if she starts up mukka !!

Welcome to BMWOC :)
