Newbie, new 135i

So what is a man to do approaching mid-life crisis -- buy a 135i M Sport Convertible is what he does...the perfect remedy...and a perfect foil for my X5 3.0d...ordered it yesterday (actual car in photo)...pick it up in a weeks time when I return from a quick trip to China...should be fun!

Wow, thats a nice photo. The rim size is perfect. I still wish we got that style of rim here in the U.S.

wheels

Yes, I like them too..they are standard fitment with the M Sport package in Australia - BMW M light allow wheels - 18” double spoke 261 M with mixed tyres - 7.5Jx18 215/40 front; 8.5Jx18 rear.

They are are open, look tall and fill out the stance of the car nicely...just the way I prefer them to be...my biggest challenge now is stopping the wife from kerbing them when she drives the car...which let me tell you, on past experience, is easier said than done!

You can buy those rims here in the states. ive seen them for sale on web sites before. I think ive even seen them in the fore sale section of this forum too. I agree, they are nice rims and would be a sweet upgrade.

cmg4511, crisis solved!!! congrats

I don't know why, but it looks like a scale model in that photo.
