what's square set up, is it front and rear wheels that are the same width?
Yes mate, as they're usually staggeredwhat's square set up, is it front and rear wheels that are the same width?
Thank you, my version on OEM+ as mine comes with CSL wheels from standard but 0.5 inch narrower on the front. Parts bin special from BMW.Now that looks proper.
How do they differ from CSL wheels? Are they a bit smaller? I can't work it out from the pics haha.

8.5/9.5 staggered 19 CSL original wheels
10J square 18 Apex (BBS RC301)
The apex wheels are a lot lighter (9kg for 18x10) and also a lot stronger. CSL wheels are prone to cracking too.
I'm not spending that kinda money lol@james24785 You know what you need to do :wink:
Neither lol although that 3.5k turbo Clio is tickling my fancy. Anyway.Have you bought wheels or a clio yet?

Indeed!Awesome. Imola leather is for heroes.
Easy one. Apex 8's.Indeed!
Can't wait to get em fitted. Just need to make a decision on the wheels then, but they'll have to wait another month or two
That's very nice!or CSL's
If I didn't have a tax bill to pay I'd be going to view this

I think I'd go Imola with black leather. Pretty rare though.it's just what I'm after next, ideally I'd prefer champagne interior but it's getting hard enough to find a decent manual one.
I'm not to keen on black M3's with black leather and the light grey that sometimes come with seems to be hated even though I quite like it.
Lol yeah it's defo an itch that needs to be scratched!Looks great, Im currently in the process of finding a well Spec'd M to replace the Megane as my itch has gotten to strong.
Not easy though, Whats with all the w**k SMG's for sale
Certainly very marmite mate. I've read the manual boxes aren't great either so it's swings and roundabouts I spose. Just less to go wrong with the manual. Having said that, SMG repair isn't a massive bill anymoreSMG is not for me from the few I've driven haha
I've read it can be quite notchy and just generally a bit horrible?Wouldn't go that far, I always thought the E46 M3 gear change was lovely!
Yeah quite an easyish swap from what I've seenI like the smg when on a long country drive. It is a bit notch on daily drives. But I find it's not as bad as the reviews I read. If you find the perfect car you can apparently do a manual box swap quite easy.
Cutters? It'll be 3k overpriced then lolSuppose a manual swap could always be an option, Theres a nice one of cutters just now, Unfortunately i keep getting fuckign errors when trying to sign up so can't message the guy lol
