Hi XXX and all other 5'ers,
You definitely sound like a great bunch of uncles! Love your 5F's. Will most certainly join you guys once I get my 5. That is if you don't leave me staring into the column of smoke and dust generated by your >200bhp machines ;-)
Guess metallic black will look good on the 523? That's my choice right now.
Cheers

cool color, also like grey.

Hi Safri,
Grey is nice if they had that darker titanium shade whch I was told was only available on the CBUs.

That's the spirit yellowmanta. Since you already made up your mind, I have to respect your decision. The 525i campaign stops right here. Metallic black is going to make your car look like a stealth fighter. Very intimidating. I like it! In order to complement the darker exterior tone, I think sandbeige is a good interior choice. What say you?

Make sure to bring us around in your new ride
We will be waiting......

yellowmanta...get the black sapphire with terra or auburn interior. It'll go great with the dark poplar....very 'W' hotel chic. I'd aslo go for a titanium grey/black combo or a Monaco blue/Auburn combo.

 

[yellowmanta]

Agree with funfer a biege interior will go nicely with sapphire black. That's what I'm gonna order. Btw KL2DC, what's an auburn combo like?
Can't help but notice all the pictures of nice 3s in your messages. Looks like most are driving the 3 series here?

yellowmanta:

Check this link out for different interior color combos...

IMHO black/beige is too boring....a nice terra or auburn or even gray (with black wood) is more avantgarde.

Still stock standard!

I heard someone has got his new sports rim from Bimmer73 aa? What happen to our STOCK STANDARD crusade? I thought you are my friend..

F Fahrer,
STILL FRIEND..........Still STOCK STANDARD! Nothing done yet.......just doing some "research" only, boleh kan???..............

yellowmanta,
bro, good decision and enjoy your new ride! Join us once you have settled down!

Hi folks,
Have put down my signature for a sapphire black/beige unit last Sat. Thot the std wheels could look a lot better. In fact they look the worst of all the BMW wheels around! Even those on the 520 look much better.
Was wondering anyone can point me to a good place where I can get a better set of maybe 17" rims and at what cost. or would it be better for me to wait till the std tyres wear out before upgrading? Coz was told you wouldn't get much trading in the std wheels.
Cheers

hi yellow manta just saw a set of 18" from the E60 M Sport for sale @ RM2500 the guy traded in for a set of ACS rims. PM me if you are interested.

ANNOUNCEMENT

The committee has decided that the BMW Club Official TT will be Monthly TT starting Nov 2006.

Official TT would be held on every 2nd Friday of the month. So the next Official TT would be on 10 Nov. Stay tuned for more info.

You can organise your own gatherings if there is no official TT for that particular week, but we do hope that when there is an Official TT on that week your group will organise yourselves to attend the Club TT.

yellowmanta,
check if changing rims/tyres will void the warranty?

 

[willy5]

Hi tcl,

Not sure if it will fit e39 where offset is concerned, but from what I have been told the PCD is the same. The tyre shop guys says no problem.

Is anyone out who knows for sure?

Good choice yellowmanta! Can't wait to see your car.
