Looks ace, just needs xenons or LED's

Apparently Kent is getting snow this weekend so the winter 396 wheels are on the 340!

Thanks mate, I have genuine adaptive xenons at home but I don't think I want the ball ache of fitting them, I will fit some Depos

Where's the fun in it being easy?

I know what you are saying and I love a challenge, but I dont have the time, knowledge or patience to install oem adaptive xenons.

Glad I fitted the winter wheels ready for work tomorrow [IMG][/IMG]

Here's my 340i, not had time etc yet to take any decent snaps. Please excuse the "dirtiest C43 in the world" in the background which actually doesn't look too bad in the pic but you can't see the back of it or more importantly the inside! They make for an interesting comparison. C43 has a bit more "joie de vivre" you could say, especially with the switchable performance exhaust on it but the 340i feels a more polished rounded device and certainly seems better built and with higher quality materials inside.

I've also got some 396s with winters on but as the tyres seem to have properly gone off those wheels can stay in the garage for now.

Plans? Wouldn't mind the M performance exhaust and currently wondering whether the M performance bodykit bits is something I want or not.

Nice, what's the specs?

[Benmac]

It's black with oyster as you can see. In terms of bits and bobs it's got the M sport brakes, professional plus media, HUD (I do like that a lot!), Harman Kardon, heated wheel, advanced parking (not tried that yet), rear view camera, sports seats with the electric bolsters (although the rest of the adjustments are manual).

Nice spec although a couple of bits I'd have expected to see missing like Carplay for example. Generally though pretty much what I'd have ticked had I been speccing it. Only done 15k miles too and lived in a heated garage before arriving with me.

[F31_Sam]

Picked mine up last Saturday so far very happy with it, haven't had a bmw for 5 years so glad to be back in one!

That looks very "right" with the M Performance kit on it.

Just realised I used to walk past where you took that first shot on the way to my old office.

Gritters havnt been near our roads, but luckily the local farmers plow them.
A little to late for my varis splitter mind but we have a nice solid base and only issue is trying to not turn into stig blomqvist

Blomqvist..... showing your age now , mind you last time I drove on roads for 4 days like that was Marshalling on the Lombard RAC Rally clearing stages, yes I know a long time ago as well! but loved every minute of it.

Something about trees, snow, and a car in a picture

Here's my F36 on winter tyres... but no snow!

It's a Varis replica, fitment is spot on. I have one for sale but it isn't from the same manufacturer and I couldn't tell you want the fitment would be like as it's never been offered up to a car. I ordered it and it was very late turning up and I couldn't return it, so I'm stuck with it.

[blau3er]

It looks great - perfect fitment would be important to me - and yours looks cracking.

Did you use self tappers and tape?
