Off Topic.

There are several separate forums dedicated to all the separate series of BMWs. But when you enter the OT from the 7 series forum you're entering the same OT that you would if you entered from the 1 series forum.

Oh right, got it. Makes sense then. I'm using the mobile app and...Yeah I missed that.

You then backpeddled because someone called you out on those were actually factory wheels for a GMC, then back peddled some more insisting you meant to call the car handsome yet fashionable... Which was then followed by a laundry list of BMW's you've owned, like any of us give a shit what you ate yesterday for breakfast (except Tonka and his bacon that's different) and finally capped it off by not realizing this OT forum is seen by all when you assume you're not welcome here because of a lack of driving a particular model of BMW so must be in the wrong sub forum... Nah, we just don't like pompous self entitled pricks... We're chalk full of pricks already and not currently taking applications...

Woosaaa, wooosaaa... :Bellyroll

Remember your pressure points! lol

I'm not certain, but the original pic didn't strike me as odd at all. It looked completely normal to me and i didn't even understand what the caption meant. I'd swear i've seen several of those vehicles with those wheels on them, but at the same time, i don't think i'd lay money on that statement.

I was implying that the GMC was the uncle of an E38, but likes his nephews shoes and...Yeah I can't make logic of it lol.

Seriously though, I personally have gone through hell (and eBay, and CL, and pull-a-parts) trying to locate unabused M Parallels. More than once, and it never got easier which each car I needed them for.

So again, a GMC sporting coveted M Parallels is a huge deal to me. I was almost tempted to leave a note asking the owner if he's sell his wheels because I assumed they were BMW oem.

WTF? Aside from being split five spokes those wheels don't look anything like what OP posted.

5th. E39

7th. E38
8th. E90

Trust me, I'm far from a new anything as it relates to these cars. Definitely learning about the E90 though since it's my first.

Isn't an E90 a 3-series???

So is an E30, which is why I'm not a new 3 series owner.

larryn · 01-29-2016, 02:17 PM

Those are not GM. There's quite a few chevys with 5x120.65 bolt patterns, and BMW uses 5x120.

Google "M parallel Camaro" or "M Parallel Firebird" or "M Parallel Blazer". It's not uncommon for those guys to use the BMW M Parallels.

OK so...the wheels I original posted are quite possibly M Parallels? Hm

But hang on I'll caption it..

3 Series driver, who's car is often used as a cab in Europe, feels the need to insult other drivers in order to boost his sense of self-worth, and pat himself on the back for his entry level luxury car purchase. Many first time 3 series owners tend to suffer from what many refer to as the dreaded, BMW douche bag syndrome.. It is a debilitating mental disorder that makes one feel that his mass produced $50k car is actually a $300k exotic race car.

All fun and games guys

No, but they are the closest OEM wheel from GM. The wheels in the OP are not OEM to that vehicle which some people were claiming.

I was prepared to be wrong, and fine with being corrected but now I'm confused. If they were oem they'd have to be identical to bmw wheels which seems a bit strange to me but idk
