A little camber, proper tire selection, and you will be golden. Doesn't look bad at all.

Thanks Kimo! I bought your old KW V4s haha. Sold them and I got a new set on the car

I might be getting rid of the car sadly. But the wheels fit perfectly! 21x10.5/12 with my own custom offsets. Nice and flush with very little negative camber

I remember hence why I posted up.

If these bad boys were in a f90 bolt pattern we might be talking some more. GLWS! I'm going to try and convince my buddy to get these. He has the purple f10 out in Hawaii.

Thank you! These wheels would've looked killer on your f90! Sounds good, I have a guy very interested in them! So they might be gone quick!

Awesome. Been looking for a while but nothing available locally and importing renders this cost-prohibitive. So much nicer than the aluminium trim (in my view)

Nice cf trim!

how much did Bmw rob from you for that purchase???

Doctor_X · 02-07-2021, 01:30 PM

I got these from bmwpartspros.com after doing deep internet searches haha. They weren’t cheap but I did get 30% off retail for brand new oem stuff - so I pulled the trigger.

Very nice Doctor_X - look forward to seeing some pics once you've had the trim pieces fitted.

Brit is the best. She was trying to help me about 2 years ago with the same search. We found a few kits but many were incomplete or damaged. I purchased one complete set we found, but the pieces had a yellowish brown tint as if it had UV damage even though it was brand new.

Ended up returning it and going the custom route, but that is a unicorn find for sure, congrats!

Replaced both pairs of maf/pre o2 sensors. Car is noticeably running much better.

yoogene · 02-22-2021, 05:49 AM

Did an oil change since the car had a lumpy idle and it's been about 3k miles & 1 year since the last one. I've had to add 2 liters of oil since the last change, so it gave me a little concern that it was burning through too much oil. I took a sample that I'm gonna send to black stone to check for rod bearing shavings, but other than that, the oil change itself went pretty smoothly.

Also added in some blue valve stem covers to match the brake calipers; a little ricey, but I'll run them for a bit to see if I like them enough to keep them.

Finally, I tried to throw on the macht shnell 12mm spacers but found that I got the same size lugs as my OEM. Shows my lack of understanding between our platform and the M2s. Ordering some new extended lugs off eBay in hopes of putting the OEM 343s on with the spacers.

What type of oil do you choose (new)

I used Liqui moly 5w-40 this time around. Car felt much smoother upon oil change as well.

Be careful with those valve stem covers, if the internal threads are in aluminium or any other metals.
Those tend to rust and seize on the valve threads due to the excess salt that sprayed during the snow season, especially in Korea.

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to keep an eye on them in that case. Still not sure if I'm goin to keep them on, but that does make a lot of sense.

Not this time; just went with the standard blue jug. I might try the molygen next time.

Either the Liqui Moly Molygen or Ravenol VST. (5W40 or 5W30)?
