BBS and BMW - love at first sight
Installed the BBS CI-Rs and can't get enough. Hope for some better pics to come. Painted the mirror caps and a few more details to adjust - would like black lugs but they were not available at the time of install so may get those. Also torn on the rim protectors and may black em out/remove or wrap.
Worked with BBS in Germany who sent a couple great TUV documents on each wheel and advised along with BMW on best setup for keeping the xdrive happy. Could have gone a tad bigger on wheels but it wasn't available in the Conti's which I really wanted knowing how good they are with 30-70 degree temp variations where I live far too many months out of the year. Looks so amazing in person.

It's a decent dent but I didn't think powder coating would solve the itch for me. I figured I saved about $6k on the suv with my high value trade so eh...comes out in the wash. Unfortunately, I've never had a problem "justifying" reasons for all things car related. If you can wait for Nov black Friday deals are best time to buy them.

Thank you! Love the blue and black look. BBS are so iconic and I think if my BMWs are going to have any wheel besides OEM it would be BBS.

Nice looks great… BBS makes some the best and most classic wheels
What size are these 20s? Or 19s?

Couldn't Resist, BBS wheels on classic Audi S6
I have used BBS (2 piece) wheels on almost every car I have had, including this 2002 Audi S6. Remember when 18" wheels were considered "huge?"
