Upgrades for my D10

Yesterday I had new brakes fitted, a Mov'It 350mm kit with 4-piston calipers (www.movit.de). I am still braking them in but they certainly look the business.



Today I fitted a new steering wheel, an M3 SMG wheel. I didn't like the old fashioned Alpina 4-spoke wheel. The M3 wheel feels better because it's thicker and it was a plug and play affair with the SwitchTronic and the paddles.

Vince,

The Mov'It 322mm kit would only fit the Alpina 19" wheels with 20mm spacers per side so I had the 350mm kit fitted which require only 10mm spacers per side.

I knew it...

ALPINA wheels have very tight offset. Even for the E46s. Last I checked, I will need 22mm per side, which is a no-go since I attend track schools in my car occasionally.
