What exactly are those wheels called? They might be the nicest possible. Do they fit without spacers?
Thanks.

Absolutely!

Oh that's the catch! I couldn't come up with anything. My other option was S38B35 but we never got to check it.

I figure maybe someone will learn something from my plate though. Seemed cool and possibly educational to strangers who are curious.

Or mathematics jokes, BLT = Bounded Linear Transformation, part of the contiuous linear extension theorem.

So I've got to tell you I've been only driving the E28s this past week. These are two totally different cars! I can't get over how tight Heinz, the ///M5, is. And the extra power is significant. That is one incredible car. I think I found the right one.

And I've been driving Bandit, the 535i, during the week as he has the car seat in him. That is a much more forgiving car. Truth be told, they're incredibly unique. I could see making a pretty good argument to keep them both around.

Awesome car. I kind of wish I never sold mine, but I'd be in jail by now if I hadn't. The e28 looks tiny next to the e90! Funny that the e28 is almost exactly the same size as a 2001 Civic.

I just noticed I missed this thread while in Europe. Congrats! I'll be in an M5 one day as well.

If you get a chance swing by and pick up that other BBS wheel for your spare :-)
Can't wait to see the car again!

Will try to work it in. Are you coming to the event on Saturday? Can we just swap them there?

We're trading though, correct? Or do you not want the spare that's in there back?
