E91 Space Grey on BMW Performance 269's

The story on yesterday.

BMW Dealer " you have a puncture sir that will be £280 including fitting"
Me "Its OK I have a spare set of alloys that I was planning on fitting so don't bother"

A very busy Monday evening's work later.

Looks great, wish the front was lower, but it's not worth the expense to get it down, BMW set it 20mm too high IMO.

I have to reverse onto my driveway as it is very slowly. Any lower & someone else would own the car or my house.

I do like the 269s, only wheels I would swap my 313s for if I got bored of them

Suits the car really well mate . I think for standard M-Sport suspension the car is sitting pretty well on the 19s!

Great shots, the background scenery blends well with space grey,
The car looks well, would look even better with a slight drop on the front but as you say it's all about practicality

I had some Renault Sport show plates that I turned over to blank. They looked a bit blank so I added the M (it was on a brolly tag). I prefer not to show my plates online.

And I figured the car was a bit light on M badges having lost the 4 on the wheels.

Didn't realise you were running the performance alloys! Looks good on the e91

My old post makes an appearance.

269's came off at the weekend. Waxed the MV3's and put them back on for winter. Takes some adjusting not because standard wheels are not nice but just cause the 269's are so right.

Its amazing how much of the 'new car' look you get from putting a clean set of wheels on and wiping the brake dust of the hubs.

Its how most cars only look for a week or two. Mine gets it twice a year on wheel swap.
