    Ohnizz, me to doubted the Rondell's , as i like them , but finally opted for new oem set Mpars as on the CSI 's … for once the BMW price was reasonable

    PS do the Rondell's have the exact center bore or must you use rings ?

    Rings needed. It's 74.1mm.

    The M parallels are just awesome. Did you lower your car? Or is it OEM M sport suspension?

    i don't know Ohnizz, i bought the car that way . I think it's lowered as i see "red" springs…. will look at it this winter as i sure have a broken shock in right front ( oil all over the strut ) and a suspension arm with play …. but i wanted first the engine mapping right with the SC. Once this is good 'm happy and can do the suspension … i already bought the new arm but wait with shocks to see what i have in there and see what springs.

    Yeah, it's 10x17 rear, so I'm sure it'll work.
    Front is now 235 and I think look decent. If new tires are required, I will replace them with 245. For now 235 seems fine

    That's good to know. I just found the red springs somewhere. Our car is originally delivered with Msport suspension, but since the ride height is pretty high, I'm sure this isn't OEM anymore.
    Your height looks awesome. Will buy the red ones
