Huge amount of car for the money. Thought about one some time ago, but wanted the M3.

Lambchops..... Yep, my wheels are the same as that one. Mine originally came from an 850... 8inch wide fronts, and 9 inch wide rears... Genuine BMW/BBS Split Rims. Transferred them onto my new car, and they look better than the ones that were on the car when i got it.....So it now looks like this...........






Don't know if you remember Mark, who bought the 4 x 4 Cosworth at last years national day...... But this green one was his M5 which he sold......

Looks great on those rims Jim!! I thought they were the same wheels, memorys better than i thought it was hehe

I havent collected mine yet but got them for Ł325 which I thought was a bargain!! My ones are 18" which I presume yours are too? Not sure if the rears are wider J on mine or not as have only seen that one pic.. I know the rear tyres are 245/40/ZR18

Remeber Mark well mate, has he still got the cossy? If so hope to see him at some shows this year

Yep, he's still got the 4 x 4 Cossie, hasn't stopped polishing it for the last four months, so he intends to do working class concourse with it this season.

Honestly can't remember the sizes of the BMW wheels, or tyres, but I'll look tomorrow (Dark and Cold Now) and let you know on here.

Certainly the best wheel for an E34 5 Series though. And unlike a ford, they don't tram line.

Will look very very nice. And they are getting both rare and expensive to get hold off so you did well.

Must admit to getting more and more into BMW's everyday, the Cosworth intrest is waining, and when I add up how much I've spent on the Cossie in the last five years is very depressing.... I could have afforded a two year old M5
