welcome, never seen those rims before, pretty nice looking | | | | | 11-22-2009, 02:40 AM | #6 | | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Bayview, Sydney, Australia Posts: 11 |
I think the rims are for the European/Australian market only. They are nice, polished Aluminium and they are original from the factory because they were part of the Contour model.  | | | | | 11-22-2009, 04:41 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Burlington, NJ Posts: 560 |

In Australia, we had two model offerings, the 316i and the 318ti model ranges. They gave the 316i the less powerful engine since it was strictly the Luxury models and gave the 318ti the more powerful engine since it was the Sports model and because the engine was in the ///M Sports package for the 3 Series Compact, which was only available on the 318ti range in Australia. | | | | | 11-27-2009, 01:55 PM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Portugal Posts: 216 |
