Right would love a new car,but i simply cant afford one this year,so to keep me amused i fancy new alloys
Budget can be no more than 1k (So 19`s with tyres is out)

Love a set of BBS LMs
What are my options for 18`s on a e46 vert?
Reps?
Genuine?
Size?

Would love to see a vert with LMs on,so if anyone has seen a pic can you post it

LM's sound nice. Have you given BBS CH's any thought? I think they would also suit an E46 quite well

LM's are being KILLED in the mod world!!! Personally i dont like them now.

Why not go CH's as mentioned?

Original LM's are mega bucks, I think you'd pay more than £1k for genuine 18's...

A friend of mine has them on his Z3M Coupe and I seem to remember him paying circa £2k for them a couple of years back.

BBS CH's are nice, so nice I just bought as set for my M3 :)

Im sure a forum member here is selling 19's rep with the tyres for less than 1k.

Best talk to him,

Not sure they will fit your car, but worth a look. (No I'm not the seller!)

LMs are quite common in the USA and on some cars in the UK. But i can't remember the last time a saw in person a genuine set of LMs on a M3 in the UK. As people have said a genuine set of LMs will set you back at least £2300 just for rims alone.

They maybe common, but IMO they are the best looking wheels for an M3 fullstop. I was considering buying something different, but at the end of the day LMs look better than anything else on the market, especially for UK climate diamond cut lip is so easy to maintain.

I might get my ICE install done instead, while a ponder my final decision. Alot of fellow members saw my reps yesterday at the meet and i got a lot of compliements on them :), so its a hard decison to part with that amount of cash on a set of genuine ones.
