LOL you've just had a bad experience. I've lost one tire in 8 years of driving on 30 series 19s!
E46 only parking

850CSi, 5.6 L V12, 375hp paired with 6 speed manual gearbox.
The leather inside is so soft and nice, I didn't want to get out.

The landlord has a pressure washer at the house to prep for painting so I figured I'd give the ZHP a much needed wash. Hit it with some quick detail spray after.

Do the E31s have the crazy deep rear bucket seats like the E24 6ers did?Quote:

Minus the whole legroom issue, that looks comfortable as hell.Quote:

Dimensions, E36 vs. E46
Length: 174.5 in vs. 176.7, net difference = 2.2 inches. Note: the E46 length is listed for a coupe, the longest of the body types, the shortest being 176.0 (sedan), for a minimum net difference of 1.5 in.
Width: 66.8 in vs. 71.3 in, net difference = 4.5 inches. Note: again, the E46 width is listed for a coupe/vert, apparently much wider than sedans according to Wikipedia (not sure how much I trust it). The sedan/touring width is given as 68.5 in. for a minimum net difference of 1.7 inches.
Height: Varies widely on body style. 53.1-54.8 in. vs. 55.5–56.5 in.
Wheelbase: 106.3 in. vs. 107.3 in., net difference = 1.0 inches.

E36: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_3_Series_(E36)
E46: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_3_Series_(E46)
I think wheelbase and width the only two meaningful measurements for comparing similar cars. Bumper changes can add 2" easy.
How much are they selling it for?Quote:

I couldn't find one in US to compare. Well, I did find this one for $229,000. :biggrin

Love that color, but those 19s look ridiculous.Quote:

This is a pretty good video about 850CSi.

I'm usually in the heart of the city so I have to fold my mirrors or they'll be on the floor one day when I get back. The bumper bully is also a must!
That picture was by my girlfriends house, she lives in the "suburbs" of the city so I didn't really have to do all of that, but it's just habit now.
