VMR has a wide catalogue of wheels and I am sure one will be of interest to you. The nice thing about VMRs is that you can get aggressive offsets out of the box. The V701 and the V708 will both look great in an aggressive 19" setup. They're also pretty cheap.

and cast.

if your're in the mood or have the money to get OE wheels, get forged wheels. VMR makes a good wheel, but i'd be wary of MN roads with them. I found that out from years of experience with my S2000s 4 sets of rims before going forged. once it really bit me because they discontinued the wheel i had before i cracked one

ajvee · 01-06-2011, 08:09 PM

I agree about the seats, they look horrible for 14k miles!

BrianMN · 01-06-2011, 08:52 PM

This would definitely be a good project for someone with the time and resources.

Reedomn · 01-07-2011, 12:15 PM

ajvee · 01-07-2011, 02:05 PM

One 335xi and one E93 335i other than that, a bunch of non sport model 3ers, 5ers, and X's. New cars had a couple M3's, X5M (hot!). I was hoping there would be an E92 M3 and/or a 335is but no dice. They do have an S63 if someone was looking for a big body Benzo. While sitting here they just sold a 128i drop top. Interesting time to buy a cabrio but I suppose the price was probably right.

Yeah, 335i coupes around here have been pretty sparse, trust me, i've looked. Some lucky dude is going to get your car, unfortunately for me it's a little out of my price range.

Jred22 · 01-07-2011, 05:26 PM

BTW guys, the paper work is on its way up to me from Chi. Hopefully picking up my Jet Black 07 e92 335i within the week

, and turning in my Montego Blue 08 e90 335i.

Congrats! I was going to send you this but I forgot. Found this 335i locally from a private seller on craigslist

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ws...096618906.html

40k miles for 27.5k Seems like a pretty decent deal.

Yeah good find, looks good, but if i were going to cough up that kind of dough i'd be making a play for Nick's.

BrianMN · 01-07-2011, 06:11 PM

Black Saphire metallic is such a nice color! Definitely would be my first choice if I were to do it over again.

BOOO! Jet black> BSM... when it's clean...

BSME90 · 01-07-2011, 06:50 PM

I love having a BSM color, but it's a bi&$@ to clean. If I had more patience, I'd take an Alpine White.

chowbox · 01-08-2011, 08:19 AM

Having owned both, Sapphire > jet black any day of the week. Jet is great when it's brand new & clean but we live in Minnesota. it takes a beating. shows too much crap.

Why do you say these things the day i'm supposed to put down a deposit on a Jet Black coupe?

Jred22 · 01-08-2011, 12:33 PM

Now i'm all insecure and i have to go start a thread about Jet black cars and how they look after three years.

sorry man. but unless you're hyper anal about waxing and detailing the thing. i just don't think jet black is a good choice. I'd hate for you to be disappointed after your initial high comes down. I'm not trying to sway your decision, just adding input for a fellow enthusiast.
