Welcome! What style of wheels do you like, and what other questions do you have?

bbs black rims, i would like to find the rims with more spokes, i just have no clue where to find them, i would like them to be used but in great condition.

and my other question is with oil changes, is it true that i can get an oil change every 15,000 miles, and im also looking to buy HID lighting.

that is what the BMW sez regarding the newer model cars where synthetic oil is specified.

I'm not buying that however.

^^^ I agree, 15,000 miles is ridiculous for oil changes.

Yup. BMW will tell you 10 to 15k miles b/w oil changes, but only because that is what they are willing to pay for during the warranty period. With synthetic, I aim for an oil change every 5k to 6k miles, but once went about 7500.
