The E36 M wheels flow with the E46 pretty good!!
Finally posting a pic of my ZHP.
It's been a horrible winter and it looks like we are getting a few days of sunshine so she finally got a bath for the first time since early December.

Thanks for sharing!
I thought so too. They're the 16" replicas I got with the car for winter wheels. BMW gave us some good designs for winter wheels.Quote:

Cleaned steering wheel, shift knob, and handbrake handle with Pristine Clean. Sad that I can't get my steering wheel to look brand new anymore, despite staying on top of it since buying it new. Oh well... still looks great so I can't complain too much.
Cleaned:

For reference, this is what it looked like when brand new. Miss those days...

yeah! that looks awesome with the red needles. man, i gotta find a used canadian ZHP coupe cluster so i can grab the gray face piece... ;)Quote:

I was looking at my cluster today and it does look a bit busy with the mph and kmh markings.
I was going to buy the Bimmian faces in MPH only (they look pretty damn clean too), but lucked into finding just the OEM ZHP faces on eBay for quite cheap. I do miss the grey...Quote:

Dammit they are! I never noticed until just now. Whelp, guess I'm sticking with what I've got...or an M3 cluster from the day I inevitably bring a donor car home.Quote:

Looks nice and clean, BP. I see the difference between brand new and now on the steering wheel, but if you handed me your steering wheel wrapped in plastic as if it was brand new, I wouldn't know the difference.
Most people wouldn't, but I'm not most people. :)Quote:

Funny thing is that if you ask BMW, they say the mud flaps are incompatible with the M-Tech II body kit. That's why I stopped pursuing it... Now I'm just confused.Quote:

great pics! i know it's a blue car, but it looks almost black in these pics. those wheels are growing on me.... very 'motorsport.' what tire size?
Those are the wheels from the E90 320si, which is the roadgoing version of their race car. Very limited numbers; a quick search reveals 2600 cars were to be built. Sweet wheel - they are 18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear.Quote:

Style 216. Such a nice wheel
Thanks guys. The wheels and color are really what sold me on the car. It's hard to get orient blue to show in pictures.
Tire size is 245/35R18 on 8.5s all around.

Every time I see those wheels, I like them more!
Cleaned up both cars.

I have not opted for ad-free Tapatalk. At first glance it looked like Lori was part of your group of pictures, showing disapproval.
