Like the finish mate, would n't know it's a 316.
I would love to get mine like that but the body kit is extra weight on my track car!

very nice car this is.
but i suggest you get some wider rims at the rear.
this is what my former car looked like with the borbets.
7.5 in front, 9J at the rear.

jimmybmw...did you do any arch work to fit those mahoosive 9j wheels at the rear? Im thinking of doing the same but all the way round.

jup, you need to get your arches rolled out, otherwise is won't fit. but it depends on the suspension you've got. mine was very low, so when i hit a bump, the rubber came of my tyres. but a set of bumpstops can do the trick as well.
i think you can forget about putting 9J in front, because the borbets only come in ET15. so the rim will come too far out of the arch.
