Couldn't see that on my tablet. I'm surprised if they're only 18's because they look out of proportion. Maybe it's just the 'seventies design and it seems to ride high because the wheel wells weren't designed to accommodate that diameter. Maybe it would look better if they went +1 or +2, using a bigger wheel but lower profile tire so the outside diameter stays closer to stock.

BMW needs to return to putting roundels on C-pillars. It's not on any current model as far as I can tell from the BMW USA site.

https://money.yahoo.com/amphtml/chec...020005972.html "...the original beltline molding done in hydro-dipped woodgrain – ditto the custom machined rear spoiler. Downey requested those alterations to match the interior. That gray wood tone appears on the Nardi steering wheel and dashboard fascia, pairing beautifully with coffee-colored upholstery that boasts woven seat centers and door panels. We do wonder how much authentic wood trim would have cost, though." Even though I prefer classic original, I don't mind the "window surrounds done in Cerakote titanium gray" |

The car is gorgeous but now that I know it's fake wood print on plastic film it's lot most of it's charm for me. |

A great classic 1972 3.0CSi was heavily featured in the movie The Art of Racing in the Rain.
