> [@turbociv](#): > > its an m5. not a ferrari and that being said i like the wheels. I dont understand why people feel the need to buy the most expensive ass wheels for the cars when 90% of the time they just get fucked up and depreciate anyway. I plan on getting wheels for my m5 in the spring and you bet your ass i wont be spending more the 800-1200 bucs on a set of wheels on buffalo roads. Those things weigh in close to 28 lbs a piece… stupid heavy, bad design (not visual), just all around crappy wheels that you can use as an anchor for a 300’ yacht. ---

I am ok with an understand the swap… but why is it every time a jap engine goes in any car, they feel like it s a requirement it have that one large ugly fart can exhaust tip at the back. They could just as easily pick out a nice dual out single in that would look FAR less out of place. ---

I was actually juggling this in my head as a possible swap for my 3 when I had it. I Definitely like how it looks in those cars. Wonder how inspection would go for that? ---

some states dont have OBDII scans for inspections, just a tailpipe fix. ---

They did a quick shot of just the tail pipe. I retract my statement for the M5 but still hold it for the 3 Series. (After another watch, yes it was the E36 they showed at the beginning, so my annoyance with it still holds some ground.)
