    Hi from Dubai - BMW E9 3.0 CS

    The car already has Air Conditioning actually mate, and it runs very very cold. Most BM's air con is awesome, I had the same in my E30 M3 and that blew cold too. I bascially have 2 settings on it and it all looks factory standard. Well looked after though. I think it might actually have the...

    Hi from Dubai - BMW E9 3.0 CS

    Thanks mate. I am a British Expat living in Dubai and a bit of a car and motorbike petrolhead. I tend to get a car, do some work on it (Me and Garage) and then not so much sell to make a profit, more to just try a new car that I have my eyeball on as I am sure we all do. Had a few cars over the...

    Wheels, Tyres & Suspension Question

    Ahh Haa, noted. Thanks mate. I never really paid that much attention to the ratio till now as I usually stick with the stock wheels on cars and what is recommend by manufacturer. That's what forums are for! Cheers mate.

    Wheels, Tyres & Suspension Question

    Sorry lads, I don't see what ratio has to do with it. Keen to understand why this is recommended though so thanks for the comments. . I am a newbie to this forum on E9s but not on classic cars and have had a lot of classics and newer cars. Width is width. 205..225 .. Height is 50 or 55 and...

    Wheels, Tyres & Suspension Question

    Thanks mate. But how can the circumference on a 50 tyre be the same as a 55? Unless I am Missing something here. Both rims are still 16s.?

    Wheels, Tyres & Suspension Question

    Why do you say 50 and 55 out of interest? I got that measurement from Powder wheels in Europe who seems to supply alot of Alpina rins. You think clearance might be an issue then? Or just cosmetic look?
