On a side note I must confess the MOST help I have been getting for this new ride (BMW 330i) has been with COM folks. THANK YOU!
I have come to find any help outside from this (BMW forums, clubs) it's all about "let me tell you about my beamer, me-me-me, it's all about me and my beamer, blah-blah-blah..."
Having belonged to the Alfa Club and COM for so many years I have never experienced this, as folks are always helpful and friendly.
3-Cheers to COM!

i know just what your talking about ! i asked about the wheels on one of the BMW forums . what i got for the replys was just so funny . there are so many people repplying with photos of the wheels they have on there cars and how good they fit and look so i tried a set of 17" that a friend has just to see if they did fit and how they looked . the 17" don't fit the rub in the back and they hit at full lock . then there is the fact that the car is a classic and it should stay looking that way and not some thing from pimp my ride rolling on big ass wheels with NO profile tires . when i stated i tried some 17's and they rub the replys i got were you need to run a 30 or 35 profile tire . so i got to thinking it must be me ? i like the way this old car looks it's a nice body design and has a very good ride for the year of the car . so why would i want to change all that ?
