Hi, just picked up my bluewater E92 325ic Highline yesterday from a BMW dealer.

Absolutely love it, over the moon and a credit to the previous owner (Jamese93) who has kept it mint, even though it's only covered 7600miles.

Used to have the M225 wheels on, but as a good will gesture the dealer offered me the M315's which i'm very pleased I chose to go with!




I'm sure i'll be hanging around here a lot more to learn some more as this is my first BMW (My dads had several)

thanks

David.

Like it, Bluewater really suits the E92 and those alloys look great.

Welcome.

[Jamese93]

Like the new wheels I must say! And does it go as well as you were hoping?

Enjoy it!

Cheers,

J

Bluewater is a great colour, you don't see many of them. What colour upholstery do you have? Looks like it might be Saddle Brown??

I tried one of the 3 litre 218hp E92's before I got my 330i, and I thought it was a beautifully smooth drive with surprising economy in the mid 30's for a mixture of A roads and motorways.

Blue water! Congratulations! The wheels look perfect.

You picked the best color E92 IMO.

Ordered mine in July and just got it!

[DavS1]

Cheers guys, Im still grinning from ear to ear!

James, It goes better than what I expected..very pleased with the performance! especially in sport with the padles, they work well!

Nicko, It has red leather, which I think goes v.well with the blue (surprisingly)

Thanks for the comments, I now think bluewater is the best colour...before I was all for white but the b'water compliments the lines of the car nicely.

Well done Dave enjoy the new car , I actually quite like the 313s just hope they dont need to much maintenance

[DavS1]

Cheers mate,

I was telling my mate the worry's over diamond cut wheels, he's just started working in a BMW dealer (handy) and he reckons there is a guy upstairs from the workshop who's job is dedicated to refurbishing wheels for BMW, so if i ever have a prob I should hopefully be able to sort it no bother, Bonus!

Congratulations mate, i bet your loving the new beemer.
Im not quite won over with the 315 alloys i think i prefer the 225's.

Get a nice M lip spoiler on that boot lid just to finish off the back end !

[chris330D]

Car really suits the colour, congratulations and enjoy!

[DavS1]

Cheers guys, was thinking of an M rear spoiler but tbh, I may just leave as is! possibly get some black front grills.

[ss134]

Congrats on the new motor Dave, beautiful car - welcome to the forum as well!

[CHG]

Absolutely LOVE those wheels!

[DavS1]

Cheers SS

CHG - I must admit, I'm also loving them !!

[davyk31]

Another vote for the M3 lip rear spoiler, a very cheap addition to the car that really improves the looks.

[DavS1]

How much do they go for new from BMW? Obviously would need painted too?

Hmm

Told you not to worry :-) Always struck me how smooth it was - feels more powerful than it is if that makes sense! I too loved the paddles though the auto box is great if you're feeling lazy. And not being DSG you don't catch it out either....

Good luck with managing to avoid kerbing the wheels - I managed it was the previous set though god knows how! Have found the info will get it over to you shortly.

Cheers,

J

It cost me about £200 from Menzies BMW in Stirling.

Yea it's very smooth, 4th gear feels good in sport and engine sounds good once the revs are up. Oil temp guage is handy too, most people assume when water temp is up the oil will be too, not so!

I'm sh!t scared about damaging the wheels but the inevitable will happen one day I suppose, just got to do my best to prevent it, car will only be used at nights and weekends as I have a runabout to get to work and back so should hopefully help keep it mint.

Ah did you find it, cool! That would be good mate thanks



Scott - how does it attach? I assume just a sticky strip? did it come painted?

[davyk31]

The lip spoiler does not come painted, I am sure your dealer or another body shop can sort that. Many guys on here have used a replica from a reputable source which come painted for around £100 and are happy with them. I thought long and hard and then put the extra money into the genuine item just to be sure it was perfect.

Yes they just bond on with VERY sticky tape.

[scottishpete]

I love that colour,defo the colour i will choose if i change in 2 years time

[janbm]

I can vouch for Menzies BMW in Stirling. Duncan the workshop manager is first rate. He has done a number of mods for me. Rear spoiler, Strut brace, Air intake and last week a BMW performance wheel. I have no complaints with any of the work.
