View Full Version : Look what I just bought..
Smokey74 02-14-2007, 12:44 AM Yeah, I know.. I said I wanted 17's but I like the look of these wheels and now I can run them all year round and spend my money on more important things like suspension upgrades, chip, and major servicing to get her running and driving like new again. My 525 is champagne and I think these will look just fine, especially for the money. I read somewhere that they're made in Germany too which is nice. Would hate to bolt on rims made in China, just wouldn't seem right on a euro classic.

4500 RPM 02-14-2007, 12:49 AM Sweet Jesus that's cheap. Nice.
kesslerbmw 02-14-2007, 12:51 AM Thats a good deal.. I picked up these with Blizzaks for 250, but I like that style of Borbet much better.

I could buy them new from the tire rack for around $120 each so I didn't want to spend more than $200 on a used set. They look to be in nice shape, I should know for sure in about a week.
Did you get your starter fixed?

Nice! They look good too. Are you still selling or did you decide to hold onto your E34's?

hell, I dunno yet. There is a good chance one will go pretty soon, but who knows, maybe they will both be up for sale.

I hear ya on that.
And no, the BMW has been sitting. Thanks for asking. We're having an ice storm, so doubt it will be into the shop until Friday. No hurry, I don't need it. :dunno
Smokey74 02-14-2007, 12:57 AM Yeah.. I can post pics. Best I can do tonight, it's snowing like a mo fo and it's almost midnight. I'll take some good pics tomorrow.:D

I think I'll keep mine forever.. My son really wants the car bad when he graduates.
4500 RPM 02-14-2007, 01:01 AM It's very clean...have you taken a clay bar to it and done a full detail?
Kashmirbeige is a nice, soft color.

Yeah, mines been in the garage for a few days because of the weather. She's going in for a major service on the 19th to bring her up to date. Hope things go well with yours.

I've wanted to keep the one posted above forever.. but its just a 525i.. I dunno. If I can slow down at work or make a lot more moneu at work within the next 6 months they will both stay. I have other projects I want to work on though and I want to buy something newer for a DD. Thinking a 4.4 X5 Sport.

No, that's the way I bought it about a week ago. The paint is excellent and the interior is real clean. It doesn't smell like it was cleaned, smells like leather. I used to detail cars years ago, someone either did a real nice job on this one or it was done on a regular basis over the years to be this nice.

To me the 6 is a great runner and I wouldn't want the 8. I have 2 bikes when I want to go fast. The bimmer is my cruise machine, I drive it like an old man except on the highway. For some reason she loves to go 90mph..:D

That's the nice thing about used BMWs. Many past owners, mine and apparently yours, really cared for the car. Hell, mine had a full detail before I bought it, and he was just a private seller.
Smokey74 02-14-2007, 01:09 AM Do you guys know what the paint color is called? The interior is call cashmere right? I've been searching this forum for a week for another one this color but I havnt' seen one.

Definatetly different from buying a typical used car. Pride of ownership probably has something to do with it.

Pop the hood, it will be on the passenger side strut tower.
Kashmirbeige is the correct spelling.
