It's missing the red leather but looks very good otherwise.

Cheers Dave

Hmmm , "very high spec " maybe but very naff 18s that shouldn't be on a 35Is EVER imo

Factor another £500 / £750 to sell those & fit some more suited to the flagship car , its like sending a Z///M out of the factory on daisies

I was looking at this one but can't check the spec because the warranty vin BMW website only works with cars out of warranty.

Awful wheels but sure I could sort that

I actually quite like the 18s it's on

, certainly nicer than the split rim ones that so many of the early 35i models were specced with.

Ye they aren't awful but it doesnt really suit the top end car tho... I have a set of CSLs from my old Z4M wonder if they will fit...

I agree Tom , not the worst wheels, but certainly not my favourite and based on your opening thread, the fact that they are 18's and the car has adaptive suspension means that you get the decent ride your looking for and the wheels aren't the cracking 19 inchers . If you factored in a new set of decent wheels and tyre that you like the original set could be used as winter wheels once you've used the tread up on them or transfer the tyres to some 18 inchers of your choice and winter shod the originals . Just a thought . We have at least one wheel guru here that has experience of E89 wheel sets !

Agreed they aren't the worst of BMWs alloys but 18s on a 35Is & a Msport as well just don't enhance the overall package of a flagship model
The E89 rides well on 19s even on standard suspension so no real bonus to 18s other than cheaper rubber
The style 295s are staggered & with the 89 offsets would look better on a E85 E86 imo

CSLs being - Fronts ET44 8.5" Rears ET27 9.5"

Would they fit an E89

Think CSLs look pretty cool for the time being anyway seen as tho I have a set.

Also are the little silver air intake splitters removable think they ruin the front end.
