E34 Olympic Edition Rims

[CTE34]

I really like these wheels, There is a car for sale in my town, a 95 525I that seems to be an Olympic edition, I havent see one before this one, And the guy told me its a special edition. Well The car is a nice one, Green with tan, 90,000 miles, But he is asking a Ludicrous amount of money, 12,900 or best offer!! Ha, and this is for a Slushbox. I really like the wheels on it though, better than the basket weaves that are on the car I am in the process of buying, Is it possible to buy these wheels, or are they uber exclusive?

came out in 1996 for the summer olympics in atlanta.

got this off roadfly...


I am the proud owner (recently) of a 1995 525i Olympic Edition. It has a few extra little goodies but in BMW tradition, they didnt do anything gaudy. Just changed the door sills to a 1996 Olympic Logo model, added green piping around the tan leather seats, headrests in the back (nice), flatstar wheels w/225hr55-16 tires and a small plaque on the glovebox. BTW the paint is Oxford green. The month of manufacture is Nov 95.

BMW dealers were the first to burst out of the starting blocks with their special edition 525i, with a distinctive Oxford green paint job and parchment leather interior.

On the door sills a distinctive "Olympic Games Edition" script is stamped above the five-ring Olympic symbol. All this can be yours for a mere $40,650.

i have no idea what the rims look like however.

Well there seems to be NO information about this car anywhere, Oh well, I guess I can get some Throwing stars ;)

I looked at one 2 years ago. I agree with you about the wheels. I liked them too, but I think they were 16". 2 reasons I didn't buy it.

1. I'm not a fan of Oxford Green (don't like green cars at all)
2. I've never been fond of "special edition" anything. I don't care who makes it, when they tack on a few extras and call it a "Special Edition" it always costs more and is always worth less later on. I was already thinking about how I would remove all the tacky Olympic Torch logo's from the interior.

If I would ever buy a "Special Edition" it would be something truly special like an M3 - LTW. Otherwise it's a ripoff.

Yeah 16 inch is exactly what I need for the 530i, The Basket Weaves are alright, but I like these alot better. I could do without the special edition car, but I do like the rims.

[CTE34]

I'll Post a couple of pics of the car tommorow.

I just remembered this thread from a link! The next day I go to get pics of the car, it was gone, and has not returned to the same spot, guess some moron actually bought it for that price :D

Grenn piping looks great, $10K not too bad.

:az: I dunno.

The stiching in the seats is cool.

But, the wheels arent that nice IMO.
