Next time you speak to your dealer, can you ask them what they used to install the rear spoiler? As in what adhesive.

And how much did the dealer give you for the 130i?

It was a pretty high spec 130, M sport wheels ,pro HIFI, roof and spoiler. I was told the trade would be under $60 so my sister has it now and rents it off me as she has a car allowance for her job. My wife has just picked up her 335 Touring, Coral Red 19 inch wheels, lemon leather, panorama roof it just looks magic. Boy does it fly, the 135 will be parked next to it

Are the performance wheels/tyres setup still using runflats and are they any wider or lower profile than standard?

I'd imagine the stock wheels would be a very similar price. I'm trying to have my dealer do me a deal, swap the wheels over for a small changeover price..

yeh i spoke to a guy at Col Crawford who mentioned a possibility of a deal. Be interested to see what they come up with on that.

But really the stock wheels in Australia are very nice anyway...so not a huge problem.

True. I like them! But feel the BMW performance ones are nicer, just need to see it in the flesh on a Alpine White car to really know. Certainly they look fantastic on the silver car above!! And I hear they are a tad light also...

Agree 100%. Standard wheels look good (much nicer than US wheels, IMO)...however, Performance Wheels look awesome! I've been told they're 800g - 1kg lighter than the standard wheel...every little helps!

Kris, yes those are prices for OZ, there I am attaching two catalogues for the Performace Series.
Also when you buy the performace wheels they already come with normal tyres, no run flat

Here is a very nice pic from the Performace wheels, though the calipers in this ones are blue, in the ones that are coming here we get the yellow ones.
