    Thanks man, I love your Touring. When I was looking for the right E30, I wanted a Touring so bad I could taste it, but there weren't any to be had here in the States.

    To be sure, the black wheels add a bit of a punk ass attitude to the car, but it kind of goes along with its loudish, burbling/rumbling character. For now I am enjoying it. I used to have HREs with a polished outer on my M3, and every time I went to wash the car I spent anywhere from an extra hour, to an extra few hours polishing and treating the outers with product to get them to look their best. With the matte LTW5s, I wash them. I don't even need to dry them because they won't show water spots, but I do anyway out of habit, and because I get meticulous when I clean. The ease of maintenance is a really nice novelty for me.

    D-Force makes the same wheel in painted silver, and I might go with those for the summer tires, and remand these black ones to winter duty, but for now I am enjoying the all-black thing. :)

      Hm. I think I saw your car at the D-Force garage a few months ago, if you meant that the black D-Forces were previously shod with winter tires.

              I considered it my Magnum Opus as far as BMW media goes. That was the pinnacle for me - It wasn't getting any better than a clip in a national BMW ad, and I felt like I could "retire." :)

              I wish I didn't have to head back to Connecticut at the beginning of April, but my time here is drawing to a close. I've always loved it down here, and it does suck to be headed right back up to the crappy weather when spring is just starting. :(

                Seriously. It was a famous commercial for me. I mean, the commoners getting their enthusiasm recognized by BMW. And now to find out that my homies footage was part of that.
