Anyone put M5 replicas on e92 335i coupe

brandfish · 10-15-2006, 06:53 PM

Springer,
So far so good, I have only had for a few days now. Everyone who goes to runflats to non-rf always seems to say something like "i love my new tires, it is like night and day difference". As for me I cannot tell a huge difference. Probably because I only had my car for a few weeks prior to switching. It is kinda hard to memorize a cars characteristics after a few weeks. They seem at least as quite as the rfs and probably better. For such savings i think is is well worth giving them a try. The Wheel and tire guys didn't seem to have words of warning about these inexpensive tires. They did warn me about some of the other cheaper tires (japanese types if memory serves) though. Anyway, so far no regrets.
good luck

Has the cabin noise increased after fitting the M5 rims?

They look so

brandfish · 10-16-2006, 01:05 AM

Brandfish,

Thanks for the info. Two more questions for you. Did you ave to transfer any special tire pressure monitoring valve or other equipment from your stock wheel or did you have to purchase anything extra? If you didn't do anything special, does your TPM still work (without the constant TPM warning)?

Thanks again.

Springer

brandfish · 10-16-2006, 01:27 PM

I did nothing special and I have not yet reset the tire pressure monitor. It is on my list of things to do. I will post it here after i do it.

Jay_328 · 10-16-2006, 02:48 PM

I like them ... not sure I'd want 19's. But it looks great.

Josh49 · 10-16-2006, 02:54 PM

magmd · 10-16-2006, 02:58 PM

BTW.....just need to rotate your centercaps.

The BMW logo should be at 12noon and the ///M at 6 o'clock

brandfish · 10-16-2006, 09:20 PM

I know I watched the big o guy put the last one on wrong before i noticed. I figured i would get them later. later has not come yet

Thanks for the info, I would have probably looked at my old wheels to check the right direction. thanks, And thanks everyone for the nice comments.

treublue · 10-16-2006, 10:21 PM

I really wanted to get M5 rims on the E92. But after seeing thta pic i'm just not feeling it. Its alittle to busy for me.

brandfish · 10-17-2006, 01:12 AM

I am just glad i like them. It is nice that i got them and not you then. Hey sometimes things work out just right. Good luck finding a wheel

andrew 330i · 10-17-2006, 07:16 AM

great looking car... now just paint those garage walls for the complete showroom feeling.

brandfish · 10-18-2006, 12:49 AM

Andrew 330i,
I don't think I will paint (new house and too many other things to complete) but hopefully these new garage shelves will work for now. YA I KNOW THEY NEED PAINT TOO

imsambeen · 10-23-2006, 07:46 PM

You take the cake. Those rims are the best looking I have seen.

Do you notice any accelaration slowing?

brandfish · 10-26-2006, 12:17 AM

I do notice a little slowing (with the 19s).

I have had the generals (tires) for a bit now and am very happy.

I have been asked to post a few close ups of the m badge on wheel so here it is, best i can get tonight.

magmd · 10-26-2006, 12:21 AM

Looks great on the coupe man!

E91 Dude · 10-26-2006, 02:53 AM

Great looking wheels!

And you have a beautiful house too. I declined a job offer in Salt Lake City, but if all areas look as nice as yours, maybe I should reconsider. Anyways, nice E92!
