Back to an old BMW

[whiteice78]

Hi Guys,

After 9 years and 3 japanese cars later, i'm back to an old e46 325ci vert.

As this is my first time owning a convertible, and an old one at that, would appreciate if you guys can give me some advice.

First things first, i think the stock wheels have to go. Planning to go for 18"s. Can anyone advice if running 18x7.5 offset 35/40 (front /rear) will be sufficient to push the wheels out flush?

Thanks in advance

hello welcome to bmw.sg

to go flush with the body, i think you will need 18 x 8 for front and 18 x 9 for rear.

No one owns an "old" BMW. What you got was a pre-loved BMW. "Old" refers to Toyotas

I'll be keeping this for a long time to come. The previous owner was smart enough to renew the coe when the pqp was 3k.

Another funny thing is, usually you don't see many e46 cabs on the road, but the moment I put a deposit on the car, I saw 3 in the same day around my office at Ubi, talk about coincidence.

Hi ace, no, mine is black with black top and red interior. But one of the cabs I mentioned was indeed black with blue top. Maybe that was yours
