Do they always remain vertical?

I passed a Rolls Royce the other day with the wheels spinning happily away and the RR logos dead still in the center. It was very cool.

The RR was as tall as the Jeep Cherokee driving next to it...that is one big BMW

I had spinning center caps for my E53s. They were pretty cool. I think I still have them somewhere. Got lots of attention.

Yup, lots of BMW feel inside and under the hood.

You would think they would at least change the screen displays and themes a bit, but nope same as BMW.

Over all definitely an eye catcher. Although once you get going with a Ghost for example, the power delivery is addicting. 500+ ponies tend to make you forget that the car weighs over 5000lbs and kind of wakes you up when you try to take the corners as if you were in an E92 hahaha. All that weight doesn't really want to turn.

It's for the same type of guys that buy those Bmw logo projectors under the door, that remind them they are driving a Bmw every time they get out of the car.

But not brake cooling ...

Someone needs to commission an ///M version and mount them on a 320i with maxed-out ///M badging everywhere and M Performance schtuff -- then, drive it by HQ in Muenchen. It'd be a parody for the ages ...

Nice! In that case it's worth making everyone else puke as you drive by.

BMW should built a plane and use these as the rims for its landing gear
I mean, they were aircraft engine manufacturers at one point, so...how hard can it be?

Only some pokeguy humgachon would put these on their car.
