Hi I have a 1990 325i msport Conv was just wondering at what model or age BMW did the smiley headlights start at? Also do you think it's worth upgrading to the smileys?
I have Azevs 17" on it at the moment but am contemplating whether to get hold of the original bbs and put them on. Also do you know if the Bbs nagaro come in 16" or are they in 15" only?

Thanks

IIRC 'smiley' lights were introduced for the '89 model year, so September '88. Your car should have them........

they came in 16" but for the m3 version only.

I was also looking for a set in 16" but had to settle with 15" in the end.

I would be p1ssed with that.

you could have bought a battered set and got them refurbished for £250.

I don't understand how people think they will get away with this.

Has he not replied to you yet? do you have his contact number?

I don't have a picture of them on the car but have this while they were getting refurbished.
I went for a polished lip instead of silver paint.

I'll get some pics of them on the car for you this weekend.

@ Gert_8 you have his address if you sent a courier to collect the wheels...

I would have paid him a visit already...

To return the wheels and get a refund of course... + courier costs + a tank of fuel + interest on the total amount for wasting my time and taking the mick.

I've been bumped a many times in my life and believe me these people are lucky I don't know where they live cos it always gets to me that my hard earned money is taken but a (u know what). If you got the dudes address jump in a courier van grab your buddies and pay him a visit and get your money back along with the travel expenses.
Gert_8 I hope you recover your loss mate.

Goldie I saw your car a while back parked outside the garage with the 17" bbs reps but I think you were prepping it for a respray or something. Just wondering how the car is looking now?

It's back to standard now how a motorsport cabby should be.

I'll get some pictures for you this weekend.

It was at the garage getting a complete repaint done. it's completed now.

Next step is sorting out the interior.
