As the title states i did a 1m front end kit on my 135i and i bought a set of apex arc 8 for it and thought I would test them on my new f06 640i xdrive I just recently purchased since im storing the 1 till summer time comes.
The Arc-8's are 18 inches so they do look laughably small on the f06 body . My f06 came with 245 45 19 all around on oem m sport wheels with all season runflat tires

The f06 is really a joy to drive its an n55 but i must say i prefer my n54 135 motor-(maybe cause xdrive dulls things out even more plus all the weight)-much more but the roughness of daily driving the 1 series for 6 years was pretty rough with the full m suspension bits added on. I never got around to painting the 1 after cracking my old reiger 1m bumper as pictured.

Curious to see what people think about my arc 8's on my f06, A few family members thought they looked tiny. The car honestly drives/handles day and night difference albeit with a bit more road noise but the response and sharpness combined with the adaptive suspension made for a very thrilling tighter all around ride.

And my n54 1 Is fbo e50 stg 2 lpfp if your curious oem turbo's.

they are 255 35 18. nah i think they would've looked sick if they were 19" as well as back wheels having the same offset as the front wheels (et22) to give it that concave look..

stock rims and wheels are 245 45 19 on all season RFT tires. Also its amazing how comfterable the car rides with such low profile tires. I
