It had the 21" wheels fitted when I bought it, but ive now fitted a set of 333 M sport wheels. [ unfortunately I havnt had chance to get any pics of it with the 20" wheels on yet]...

Ta for the nice comments.
Yes it does look well on the 21" wheels. But it rides a bit harsh, thats one reason for fitting the 20",s.
I like a smooth comfy ride...
Although ill be looking at getting some non runflats soon...
PS,,, the 21" wheels will be for sale soon...

Welcome.... lovely car! not sure about the colour though!!
Did you find a big difference in the ride once you'd changed to 20"s - i was thinking of upgrading to 21"s on mine

Ride difference, Its not as "crashy" on the bumps and it doesnt seem to follow white lines as much, But im guessing itl get even smoother once the run flats that are on the 20,s have been changed to no rft,s...
It all depends how you like the car to feel...
The car needs its geometry doing aswell, but im trying to find someone local to me [ Blackpool area] who knows how to set it up with less rear negative camber but still maintaining the road holding.
If i take it to the main dealers im guessing theyl just set it up to BMW specs, thus ill continue to get front and rear tyre wear, [outer + inner wear]. ::) ::)
Ill dig out the options list and post up once found...[It has a ,,, few....]
