Hello again guys......any of you had your hubs redrilled?....any advice?.....was toying with the idea of fitting the 7 and 8 x 16 5x120 alpinas you get on the E28's.

It is not just redrilling, the centring diameter differs as well. You basically need to replace the complete hub assembly. Has been done before, I chose not to do it.

I have thought on a slight change in the colour, massive fan of the ascot grey metallic, but the more i see graphite, the more i am thinking this colour is better.

Yes Jeroen...both very nice....i prefer the way the livery pops against the darker graphite grey so i will most likely go with that.

Long time guys........car will be moving on again in the next few months hopefully so will update..........next up is paint......been thinking on keeping it within the bmw catalogue so graphite or one of the greens.......or stray away to something like british racing green......will have to give it some serious thought before paint hits the panels. :driving
