Glad your experience has been positive OP - this forum is much more friendly than some I have used!

As for wheels, hopefully this link will work to give you an idea of some options, but ignore the prices - you can find good used wheels much cheaper:- http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/bmw_al ... e85_alloys

Bigger wheels seem to fill the wheel-arches better, but mean lower profile tyres so can affect the ride. Many on here advocate fitting non-runflats - one of the benefits reported being a better ride. Saying that, mine have both been on OEM 18inch Bridgestone runflats and I don't find the ride too bad - it is a sports car after all!

While I enjoy Merlot, tonight I am enjoying Shiraz. :lol:
Coupes because stunning!

Thank you for your recommendations on wheels.
I will be sure to change my wine colour description henceforth to Merlot, which is my preferred tipple anyway.
Firstly I have to receive the V5 which the garage who sold me the car, still have not provided 1 month after. Until I receive this I don't feel the car is mine.
Thanks again.
