I bet with a more conventional sidewalled tire it'd be a perfect fit in the wheel well.

Ebay has Michelin tires for $60 ? In good shape ?

The e90 has sports package. I found an used OEM wheel style 162 (front size) on ebay. I'm pretty sure style 162 and 135 are compatible, but I didn't verify.

Looking back it was actually $70 for the one Michelin Pilot Sport a/s 3. I'd be pretty happy with four of them to make a set.

There are some freebies (just pay for shipping) in my second part-out thread.

Reduced some more stuff to "$0, Just pay shipping!" in my part out thread, check it out if you haven't already.

Oops, forgot to respond to you...

Come find Wobz and I'll give it to you.

Does anyone have a hood roundel laying that isn't in crap condition? The sun beat mine up pretty badly.

i picked up a good used one on ebay for $10 shipped...

I bought a new one on ebay for $7. The ad had an OEM part number and the "original" word in it. But it seems to be a knock off. The seller is located in USA, another factor for my mistake. Don't let this happen to you !

From my past experience: the knock off roundels look nice in the beginning, but they will fade quickly under the sun.

Well I guess I'll stay away from eBay. I guess I'll just search around for the best price on an OEM roundel.
