Are your dealer not happy to play ball regarding the x-lites????

Washy · Jun 19th, 2003, 06:31 PM

I will hopefully be talking to them later. I will let you know....

Dom · Jun 19th, 2003, 06:32 PM

Don't get the reflectors in the bumper Martin... not sure it will look good on blue...

get them to stick them on a set of mudflaps instead, can take it off then!!

I'm sure BBS are more expensive than that, I tried for some 18" jobbies and got quoted over £2.5k!

I'm going to get them to stick them in the grill bits like shams, they've agreed to do it that way

Just have to confirm this wheel situation before I can sleep properly at night though

doh, yeah, not cooper chili then but someone nothaving Chili who wants 17s can order x-lites and then swap

Dom · Jun 19th, 2003, 06:39 PM

In that case, use the E46 reflectors... they'll look better I reckon.

I'd go for the white x-lites myself...

SoggyCornFlakes · Jun 19th, 2003, 06:39 PM

Can't you get some reflective duck tape? You could use any left over on hte mirrors

Still you'll be speccing yours soon and will soon catch up....

SoggyCornFlakes · Jun 19th, 2003, 07:02 PM

ssshhhhh

Dom · Jun 19th, 2003, 07:03 PM

I'll have a budget of 16.5-17k for an S if I only wait until my first payrise instead of my second... probably a good thing else I'd have 30k to spec an s with, which is silly

Spec my S because I'm too lazy, and have to wait until next year

Washy · Jun 19th, 2003, 07:03 PM

Ooops

Washy · Jun 19th, 2003, 07:15 PM

Right a bit of research
WWW.bbsdirect.co.uk

BBS RX (one piece R90 look alike)£850-995 for a set of 4 with Toyo tyres..depending on tyre size

BBS RX2 (two piece R90 look alike) £1495 for 17's with the same size tyres as the S spokes.

Dom · Jun 19th, 2003, 07:21 PM

bugger... I wanted the RK2's... at £1695 I'd have had those!

Washy · Jun 19th, 2003, 07:24 PM

Know a guy with 19"RC's on his E46 M3...they look quite cool

Dom · Jun 19th, 2003, 07:28 PM

was offered second hands 19's for £1k... decided against it when i thought about the cost of rubber... would've look so smart though!
