Urgent Help With Choosing My New Car I Have To Order By Sunday

bmw3series2010 · 07-01-2010, 09:26 PM

Hello forum. I placed an order for a new titanium silver e93 335 msport With the new 18" BMW msport alloys a few days ago when today I happened to go pass an alpine white e93 with the the new 19"alloys. I have to admit in the showroom those wheels were not all that but actually seeing them on an actual car they looked stunning. I have always been fond of silver but after seeing the car in white looking stunning I am reconsidering the colour of my car to either metallic white or black. As the car I had seen was alpine white can anybody tell me what the difference is with the two whites and if anyone in the Uk (preferably) in the midlands has a e93 with those new 19" wheels that I may be able to see in either metallic white or sapphire black.

Benham BMW have told me that I have only a day or two to decide and then it will be too late to change so if any member out there can help or knows someone that can help me I would really appreciate it. This is the first time I am I am choosing a colour other than silver so i have to make the right choice or else someone will be picking up a right bargain in a few months time

I watched a guy collect his 335d E92 in AW with the 313 wheels, it looked stunning and would be my first choice if I were lucky enough to order a new 335i.

My only dislike of the 313's is they show off the standard brakes, which lets face it, are pants, I'd have to have the BBK upgrade with those wheels

Tough decision....

Mineral White with 19's for sure, the BWM configurator only shows 18's MV3 wheels for that car, which have been around for ages and look too small on a cab or coupe.

And it's a cab, a poseurs car (meant respectfully), if your priority was to drive it then you'd buy the coupe, so you want the bling wheels for sure

The plain flat alpine white's a bit long in the tooth now (ouch)

Get the mineral White on brown leather, an the 19's!

+1 / or the red leather

But as it's an e93, what about black + red leather + 19's for the ultimate bling, show off experience.

As it's an E93, I'd seriously consider black. On the lighter cars, especially white, you can really see the joins of the roof, on black they blend in better with the car. Although obviously that doesn't matter when the roof is down, as it undoubtedly will be for the majority of this summer

Personnaly I think 313's are a must (even though you can see the standard brakes).

Just ordered the coupe in le mans blue with the 313's but i do think they go better with White or Grey as they are finished in grey. All the M-sport advertising photos are white with the 313's.

19's are a deffo, ask them to fit non runflat tyres rather than the runflats, the ride will be improved, unless you want your topless convertable to jiggly around alot...............

Your best seeing a white one with the roof up to see about the joints and see if that puts you off or not.

Don't think they will do that will they?

I have driven on the new 19's with the new 3rd gen rft's this has solved a lot of the ride problems!

+1 that would look fantastic

F31-340i · 07-02-2010, 09:16 AM

+1 for the 313 19"s.

For a cab, I'd go black and get some colourful seats. The roof is very clever, but in white you can really see the join lines etc. which is a shame...

...on 2nd thouhts, still looks great actually.

Are the 3rd Gen RFTs factory fit now?

I'd be interested to see how they feel.

3rd Gen RFt's do not seem to be available, the only one's that have been press released are the bridgestones and they have gone back to a 2011 sales release
