Wifes new 1er

HANDSOME BOB · 03-16-2010, 03:42 PM

Hi

Picked it up a couple of weeks ago,The Wife luvs it..

Took some photos today of the wifes new car........ not the best with a camera as you can see

Also any ideas on a nice set of 19" alloys. (Thinkin of VMR 701s gunmetal)

Any advice would be great thanks

Cheers

nice car! Maybe i'm out of the loop, but do wives really drive these type of cars?? I see a lot of posts w/ people saying "wifes car", is this just a precautionary measure

I'm not married so maybe im out of the loop

HANDSOME BOB · 03-16-2010, 04:14 PM

yep afraid so wife has expensive tastes - this is mine - but we will probably swap and change.

19" rims on a 1er? No, please...

why not? with the proper offsets, they look great.

Bimmer-Bob · 03-17-2010, 09:42 AM

Stripes gotta go. And no offense, but 19"s look ghetto on this car.

Raflekt · 03-17-2010, 11:49 AM

The stripes dont look good on black

ptack · 03-17-2010, 08:16 PM

Egads on the stripes and I wouldn't bother with 19s unless your roads are in really good shape (or you like replacing tires and possibly wheels).

miro2296 · 03-17-2010, 08:38 PM

Not of fan of the stripes. 19's will work fine on this car, they look good IMO!

HANDSOME BOB · 03-18-2010, 09:39 AM

Ye i agree with you all about the stripes,Have to see what the wife thinks when she see,s it..

She Wanted a 320 m sport coupe,But with the money i saved gettin the 1 series,I can put it towards one of these,

HANDSOME BOB · 03-24-2010, 05:51 AM

Thinkin of stickin 19" VMR 710 IN GUNMETAL on it for the wife..Thoughts would be great

Thanks

escobar929 · 03-24-2010, 07:01 AM

VMR 710s is a great choice in wheels and IMO, 19s are perfect for this car. If i wanted 18s... they come stock

LOL...doesn't have 'em b/c it's a diesel.... 120d? 123d?

I actually don't think the stripes are horrible, but 19" wheels on a 1er is just bling without any benefit....

Ash83 · 04-08-2010, 10:16 AM

Nice..

Yes2m3cs · 04-08-2010, 12:04 PM

I was told that the vmr 701's should be available for the 1 series fit by this summer..I couldn't wait and just ordered some 710's

Hope this helps

I think i've got it all wrong....

Berduderunner · 04-08-2010, 10:22 PM

did you get the 1 used? quite a few mods on it... pretty cool!

by the way I think the stripe looks great w/ silver rims. but if you go aftermarket... ehhh might look weird
