Hamann... who can't figure out BMW wiring properly, so 50% of the controls work in the opposite direction.

I've never cared for the M-parallel's. I'm going to hang with the stock elipsoid wheels and save the money for other things.

I might put the 745i wheels up for sale, and I accidentally picked up a set of E38 16" basketweaves (which don't count for my car because they don't fit over the brakes!) which I should sell.

True, The stock mirror shape goes with the car but I think you will like the M5 style better.

"Going"? The car is basically done with the exception of some more engine power-adders. Please see http://www.robertlevinson.com/seven if you don't realize what's in there.

The M5 mirrors are okay, but they don't grab me enough to be worth the effort to swap. Besides, I've got gradient wide-angle glass in my mirrors which I'm used to.

Funny thing about those Z8 wheels... similar style, but with four sub-spokes instead of the three. Four just seems too much.

What did you do, blow those up to a Pshop 22" size? Do I look like Funkmaster Flex?

Riiiight. Three sets of wheels in the 7 years that I've owned the car. If you buy a large coffee at 7-Eleven once a day for the same period, you've spent almost as much as all three sets cost.

If you buy Starbucks every day for the same 7 years, you've spent 3X as much, or something just over $10,000.

That's literally "pissing money away".

I think those wheels are a nice alternative to M-Pars. I love mine and would not want to go bigger than 18", but for bigger wheels, those definately would be my choice!

That's a pretty good deal, especially if there is some actual tread left on the tires!

I looked at the thread but do you know if the ones made for the E39 fit the E38?

Is it plug and play?

Thanks :cool
