I'd rather have a wider wheel than a lower offset. I don't get the whole my offset is lower than yours games. I like the idea of the x11's on the sedan. I bet that looked sick. I think the RE30's will look good.
It has nothing to do with bragging rights and quoting #'s/offsets. When you see the car in person, it really does have a substantial impact on its presence. If you have room why not take advantage of it.

Don't take what I said to an extreme though, I'm not saying that you should run offsets to the point where you're compromising setup and tire options.

well yeah, I mean if there is room I would want to use it. I just don't get into the running ridiculous camber and chewing up fenders and quarter panels just to say I have X offset. By all means though I believe if you got the room make use of it. I'd love to see pics of these cars though that's being talked about.

Turbo powa... you won't get the power increase on the M like you do the 335i with just a chip. I have an 08. The Vishnu V3 with DP's, intakes and exhaust is pretty insane. Those mods will take down an M3 and not break the bank.
Yup but still not an M

As a daily drive 335i will be better than M my opinion, because 335i has the power but also have the comfort gear ratio distance on street driving.... But as a fun car on track, M will be the better choice since M is design for the track....

and your point? I wanted a turbo car, so I bought a turbo car. the 335i vs M debate is already old on bimmerpost so lets not start that here.

volk doesnt make an 11 inch wheel for the car.... (I dont even see the 10.5's on the sizing chart either) but he says he has them... maybe a new size!!!..

I was talking about +15 on the M.... and what makes the gearing of the M better for the track in your opinion?
