2009 e90 LCi - Why 17's w/Sport Package?

What was BMW thinking? Do they still use runflats also?

I mean, I would have loved to get the 09, LED tails, but the 17's are what killed it for me.......

You must be referring to the 328i as the 335i with ZSP comes with 18's (style 287).

Yes, they still use them on non ZSP (Sport Package Equipped) cars.

You don't need to have 17's, go build a car before screwing with the prospect of making a new topic.

Plus One. Seems to be the only thing that i can actually blame without getting a tense retort

Why do you need more than 17"?
WHat does it get you (beside less $$$ in the pocket)?

Oops, my oversight. Yes, I was referring to the 328i. I thought the old 161's were 18's, not 17's and this was a change for 2009 and the new 286.

I'll try to be more careful next time before having to put my flame suit on
