+3 19"

I like the look but not sure how well the wheels would last on ruff roads.

How do they ride compared to an 18?

keith_m3-4 · 07-07-2008, 03:52 PM

19's do look nice! I am envious in that department.. but I am very happy with my 18's on the touring. Much lower cost, lighter and still looks sweet.

I had 19's on the M3 and the ride is cleary rougher but not by much. Hard to quantify. But it's tolerable.. on the other spectrum, 17's are way comfy!

I had 19's on my touring for 2 years and many problems + 0 comfort with those wheels...
Now have 18" is not that bad but sometimes thinking to sell my Iforgeds and buy some 17"...

By the way I have one brand new for sale, never installed with hella fog lights and black mesh, not fiberglass. Bumper is painted Alpine White.
Asking $500 or can trade for OEM M-tech II .

and its kinda hard to get much detail from it, I dont want to pay for something and have it be barely any different than stock. Anyone ever seen any or done a custom rear roof spoiler?

Hey,
You still looking for some extra pics of this spoiler?
If so just lmk, i have one old G-power which just collecting dust in my basement, don't have time to paint and install it... but can make pics for you

330i ZHP · 07-11-2008, 06:34 PM

keith_m3-4 · 07-12-2008, 02:39 AM

Fellow Touring owners, any chance you know the part numbers for this bumper grill? I want to swap mine!

jwm5 · 07-12-2008, 10:21 AM

^ the grill in the front bumper is the standard 330 grill for the bumper...

diagram is hard to see exactly what is what, but that should be it.

330i ZHP · 07-12-2008, 10:40 AM

wasnt that the mtech I bumper for sedans?

Fozzy · 07-12-2008, 12:22 PM

No, it´s the standard insert of the 330i facelift models.
I did the same to mine - just with the pre facelift version.
looks much better then standard and now I also have the headlight inserts in titaniumsilver ;-)

...sorry for the crappy pics - need to update my photostory......

330i ZHP · 07-12-2008, 12:31 PM

aahhh, now that you mention it, it does look like my original bumper....thanks for the info

keith_m3-4 · 07-12-2008, 12:32 PM

Is the center grill chrome? This is the description for the middle piece from dealer; Bumper and components - Lower grille - Chrome Chrome - W/o sport

thanks!

Fozzy · 07-12-2008, 12:33 PM

...no, it´s also in matte silver

Just trying to determine what needs to be painted. So the grill or the side pieces are matt silver? If you can shot a closer shot that would be great! thanks
