More Valkyrie things. RIP AV/2. 😢

I saw a light brown coupe on slotted mags last weekend and it absolutely looked the business.

Even worse.

I guess M3s are the only 5-lug E30s, then.

I'm not really into prewar stuff, but that's quite lovely.

Ha! That's model-specific *and* TRX. Oof. Are they 5-lug at least?

Yep! Here's a pic of the Turbines/T-Stars "naked." The car can be driven around perfectly fine without either cover; many owners do.

Alpina wheels are lovely, but I prefer the classic ones with the black centers.

The 3 most important attributes for any NSX:

1. Manual transmission
2. Pop-ups
3. Body-colored roof

This one's 2/3, so I'll allow it. 😁

Great choice. I'm honestly surprised they're not TRX-sized, given their vintage. 415mm would have made a lot of sense for the M1.

Same as the Turbines! They use the same "base wheel" and can be easily swapped.

That rear door handle placement though... 🤩

The design is a little too simple and wagon-wheel-ish for me but I love the lip on these. Strongly considered a set for my E34 540.

That's a great, underrated choice. They remind me of Fiat Barchetta alloys, which is a favorable comparison.

I think that's an M-Tech 2 wheel? Regardless, it's beautiful. ❤️

Here's a recent one that stood out to me. The car it's attached to is far from my first choice, but the steering wheel is nice! 😅

Cup wheels are very pretty! Fuchs and Turbo Twists are iconic also.

*I actually hate that wheel* 🫣

But mostly because of the gorgeousness that followed...

Had one; can attest to its goodness. 👍

The Style 24s are a great example of a wheel that shouldn't really be considered attractive (too chunky, bad visual balance between the hub and spokes, etc), but just kind of...works?

Good ones! BMW has so many good wheels to choose from; I feel like I should have asked for their *worst* OEM wheels. 😅

QOTD: What are your favorite OEM BMW wheels?

I think our daughters would have a lot to discuss; mine is 18 and does very similar stuff. 😮

Gorgeous piece.

Needs moar Cosmo.

It's a living.

Mildly ashamed to admit I didn't know page corner bookmarks existed until yesterday afternoon.

He just needs to pivot.

That swap actually works pretty well since the L-series was based on a Mercedes engine in the first place.

He can add "Quoted by Ken Jennings" under "Rented a Peugeot in South America" and "Weird Car Pied Piper" on his (impressive) resume. 👍

Whoa. How does it even occur to someone to combine those parts...? 🤨

Most don't, apparently. 😂

At this point, I'm honestly beginning to think there are more cars running around with their directional wheels mismatched than with them installed correctly. The mind boggles.

That's lovely. I've never seen air horns shaped like that! 😮
