Hello and welcome to the zone! The wheels are Mim 1900's (i think), very tasty! I'm looking to get a set of these myself in the near future.

Hi there

Nice car, looks good it black and with the Mims on.

I see it's all factory at the mo'. Any plans for any mods? Where in the UK are you?

You got to get to some meets.

Over and out.

welcome to the 'zone mate!

car is looking good mims and a black car= GOOD THING

as for modding your 320i, most on here will say stick in a 2.5 (40bhp more) which is an option but a bit involved if you're a novice?

to get the best out of your 320i, i'd suggest fitting a 325i throttlebody or a 'zone built Big Bore Throttle Body (Ԛ£120 exchange),
a 'zone chip (just give ANT a holler) (Ԛ£55 and available in wild and mild)
possibly a K&N panel filter (no goddam ramair cr@p )

M5Pilot on here offers the ultimate exhaust addition for us six potters, a SIX branch Manifold.But it is fairly expensive.....

if you do the above mods and the car is well serviced and running strong, i'd expect 145-155bhp out of it (129 stock) add the 6 branch and it'd prob be around 160+

hope that helps

hi datourer,

there's a set of these wheels for sale on ebay at the minute.

look nice with the polished outer edge.

gall.

Thanks for that, but i'm watching a set on a Dutch site at the moment. They are quite readily available over here and in Germany, and probably a bit cheaper. My only reservation about the mims is the visible wheel nuts..

There are a set here, polished, look nice!
