Never say that again on a BMW forum.. You may upset some people.

Anyway, car looks good and even comes with some M3 reps so the modding has already started for you Now to just add an aero front lip!

Apparently they are genuine. One of the guys I work with son was (up to a couple of weeks ago) a mechanic at Kloster BMW. He has done all the work on my son's car (on weekends as a favour). He also commented that they were genuine M3 wheels. I assume that makes them expensive? They are 265x35 assuming 19” by measurement. Sorry, I don't know my mag wheels very well.
Also sorry for the V6 comment, I have looked under the bonnet (once or twice ) and I know it’s not a V6 engine, more an old habit calling it that.

cheers,
Stephen

Mate, so glad you went to this instead of a 320d in the end, I bet you're definitely not regretting the silky smooth power delivery of the 6 coupled with a very nice 6spd

It is really smooth. I love the manual gear box. The gears just flick into place. With my previous car I felt I just was steering it down the road. It made all the decisions. With the manual 325i I feel like I now 'drive' the car

Cheers,
Stephen
