not sure bought them of a guy in canada said he got them from germany not sure they were new and very cheap 18x8's though, yeah funny you can see that with this picture you actually can't see that unless you are looking for it in person, the other thing is that the front fender has a gigger dent and that you can't even see. yeah it is nice the owner before me just did not take care of it so I have been little by little working on getting her really smooth I found out that BMW's do not like any type of uncareless to their engine, I took the intake and cleaned it all out and WOW it made the world of difference. toady I had the oil changed to Mobil 1 0w-40 full sythetic and damn that car runs very smooth just to say that I always been able to tell how fast I'm going on the freeway but with this car I always have a hard time untill the OBC starts yelling at me when I hit my set max speed.

Switching over to synthetic at this point in your car's life, you may want to check the oil a lot until you're sure it isn't running lower and lower. I know @ 75K I switched to synthetic on my SVT, and I must have had "not so great" piston rings because I was running lower and lower fairly fast. Then, when I was not even 1 quart low..... I took a right hand turn and ::CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK....::

The different synthetics can also contain different additive packages that can clean different things. I ran Mobil 1 since I got mine (switched at 77K), and didnt lose any. Ran that until, IIRC, 125K, when I followed one of my co-worker's advice and tried Royal Purple. I had gotten fairly lax at checking the level because it would never drop. 3K later when I went to change it I was shocked to find I was a quart (!) low. 3K later it hadnt moved. Strange. That was the only time it has ever burnt it too. Even with close to 6700 on this change, I only had to add 2oz between fill and drain.
OHHH SCOT !!!!!if you could I could send you some tomorrow and thank guys for the advise I do check it very often because first I drive 90 miles a day and second that is another thing the the @$$h*&# that owned it before me did not take care off the Oil pan has a leak so I'm going to wait untill the next 3k miles and change the gasket.
