The car looks great, and that steering wheel looks so thick and chunky.  Looks very nice and sporty.

Oh my, that interior is terrible.  

I'd probably buy this over a 3er.  This is the smart buyers' 330i.

This thing is rear drive and has a stick...I think I like it better than the A3.  Better by a lot.

Not diggin those wheels, but otherwise it seems nice enough.

Looks good in person too, or at least the 120d does.

I'd stick HREs on them, anyway.

I like the wheels on the new 3 series:  These two are great, I'm not digging the other wheels though.

I tend to like classic 5-spokers (if you can't tell from my current car). I dig the wheels on the E90 330i sport package though, as well as the ones on the 645ci.

There are two on the 6er.  One is the 18 inchers, which look ugly, and then there are the beautiful 19 inchers.

These I love:

I didn't realize there was a second set, every one I have seen has the ones in your post (which are the ones I am referring to).

There is another 16 or so spoke wheel, that doesnt look very good, IMO.  I'll try to dig up a picture opf it.

Why are the front wheels larger than the rear wheels...isn't it usually the other way around?  :blink:  :P

It does look that way, doesn't it?

I don't think the rear is smaller pobably the same size but the aspect is throwing it off.

Nope, the rear is not smaller.  the angle is throwing it off, and I think its more shadowy in the back, creating a smaller look.

the wheel well, angle of the pic, and shadows, like dave said, make it looks smaller.
