This is true. Not keen on them though, they look nice, but not amazing. But then, TBH, I think that about the CSLs, I wasn't blown away by how they looked, just thought "oh, they look alright"

If any M Sport rims needs to be these:
Shame the CSL's are not working as they look stunning, can you not get someone to machine them so they fit better or is it not possible due to width / offset
If that fails what about reps?!

I think some nice 18" BBS LMs or RSs will do nicely.

That was ages ago now, alternator belt tensioner bolt had snapped, meaning that the battery went flat. BMW took ages getting the part in too, took much longer than you'd expect from them.
My current issue is the lack of brake pads
I've not updated this with the carbon grille pics yet either, as I've got none which are good.
Erm, other than that, it's been to Santa Pod (with no brakes to speak of) and ran a 15.83 1/4 mile in appaling conditions, which I'm happy with, and will improve upon when the weather is better.
Other than that, no progress as of yet, although I've decided to keep the CSLs for now, and I'm going to lower the back a bit more and ignore the fact that I'll need new tyres sooner than if I don't.
More carbon is still on the cards at some point though, rear spoiler for one, then a new exhaust which doesn't point to the ground.
I quite like the Hartge one, and the Eisenmann one, but they're both fucking expensive.

Heard a few tales of them cracking though Paul, and the 230s, a few people on E90 post are trying to get BMW to admit liability now, but struggling, as you'd expect...

2 months on, I can tell you that it's just as good as it was beforehand, but handles better.

Yep, so bad that the wear sensors were nearly worn away
Had a little discussion about getting some more power from it too, a bigger bore exhaust, bigger turbo and bigger intercooler have been mentioned, time will tell....
