And no better choice than the M Parallel 18 inch alloy wheels, absolutely sublime rims for such a beast, especially a colour coded one! -
It turns heads as Dabsy says, the looks are something you'll never tire of. Those lines are absolutely sublime, I've loved the car since it first came out and 10 years later I got one and I'm still not over it!
-
Well mine's currently on 134k and still feels tight as a drum so don't worry too much about mileage! The M52B28TU engine is an incredibly well built engine!
-
Good stuff Shaun! Just make sure you get the correct size tyres either way as the wheel sensors are stupidly sensitive - I've had to temporarily disable my ABS and ASC!
-
Good luck finding some 17s for the 7 mate, the OEM sizes were only 16s and 18s, the 17s had a weird tyre size and in putting them on you risk messing with your wheel sensors, this in turn makes the car go into 'limp mode' where the ABS and ASC will cut in and limit you everytime you even think about driving the car - what wheels are on the car currently mate?
-
To be honest the 7 is a fairly comfortable car even though I've absolutely slammed it on it's chuff on the 18s! It was alot more comfortable on the 16s though but I love the look of the 18s, even with a lower profile tyre!
-
From the sounds of it, it's quite well specced! I've got 18s on it Shaun :)
-
Hiya James thanks for the kind words! The car park pictures were taken literally just after I'd fitted the wheels, got kicked out by security though otherwise there'd have been more :(
-
You know that's how all of us got ours! ;)
-
Count me in! Short notice Dave, better get cleaning! ;)
-
Have a look near the gearbox :)
-
Maybe starter motor? If you can locate the starter motor in the engine bay then give it a few taps with a plank of wood or something it should start up, had the same problem with one of my old E36s! Hope that helps!
-
My advice? Buy one. Fall in love with it. Live happily ever after. HTH :)
-
Hmmm, you got a picture of your car at all?
-
Does your interior have a black headlining? If so, it's a sport :)
-
I think it was the 728i sport models that exclusively had the colour coded sills and bumpers mate :) the SE spec had black sills :)
-
My old 318iS was probably one of the causes of my last break up I reckon! The money I was spending on wheels was ludicrous!
-
Hiya mate, it's just the way it is from factory - it's the non colour coded version of the 7!
-
I always wanted a JAS plate put we're looking at silly money for those! Such a common name!
-
Thank you! It's pretty cool, I never really wanted one at first but Mum and Dad bought me it and I love it! Don't often use a front plate though so it feels like I'm wasting it!
-
Oh yeah ofcourse! Your car's a facelift! That'd mean the light units entirely! Some amber spray tint maybe and if you don't like it then just rub them off with nail varnish remover!
-
Sort it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat Dave! 4 times a year?! I'd have a new set of wheels each time if that's the case!
-
It's a slippery slope indeed! We have my next transformation guys...
-
No problem with the engine mate! I had the M44B19 (that's the engine code!) in my old car! The engine was plentiful in my 318iS Coupé and I loved it! Properly revvy little engine!
-
Hello mate and welcome to BMWOC! Would like to see some big pictures of your Z3 mate! What engine is it? I trust you'll find the site informative :)
