E38 MPars: A Cinderella Story
Quote:
Just like Cinderella...the shoes did fit. Here's pics just to show and perhaps help someone in the future that have some old BMW wheels...or even new wheels that have an offset range that appears to be outside the normal f06 offset range. Again, this was all about function (being able to get through winter's snow/ice/sleet/slush/etc)...and excuse the dirty car...it rained the day before getting the wheel/tires mounted...and the pics were taken right after getting them mounted. The illustrations below show the comparison of the 20" Style 356 wheel/tire combo to the 18" Style 37 MPar wheel/tire combo: -

I have 19" dedicated winter tires and rims and they look quite nice. The side walls are higher for greater grip, but the overall look is better than more summer setups. They are stylish Brenton rims that have been gloss black powdercoated. IMO winter sets do not have to look like winter sets and they can still be totally functional.

I know its not sexy, but got my normal 1yr oil change, 2800 mi since last one (yeah, don't drive it much) but it was a quart low so what the heck. Dealer took 2 days to do it, but they gave me new 540i to drive. 2 days. . . dealer says they have a horrible time finding good techs so they are down on staff.

Installed my 10/10 spacer. On the rear I use Porsche marked 295/30 tires but actually they are 325 so 10mm on the back was the max. With normal OEM rims and tires a 10/12 combi is ok.

I'm in Canada, BC. You can go as dark as you want in the back but any tints on the front is sadly illegal.

Filters are K&N and the blue tubing was 3d-printed along with the MAF housing from high temp PE.
Stock airbox is completely removed. Similar to N63 intake but without all the fancy carbon fiber. My hood remains closed so I did not care about the looks in the engine bay, just wanted it to look nice behind the grilles. |
