Update - 233 9xx km - Ferric Grey 437m's

Been wanting a set of these for a long time, but finding a set in Ferric Grey proved quite difficult. When the opportunity arose, I had to grab them.

Fitted them on 19 August and I’m absolutely loving the look. They need some minor TLC, but nothing a refurb won’t sort out down the line.

The set came with Vitours:
235/35/19 - Front
275/30/19 - Rear

I've read that the rears might rub with the 275's but all seems fine with me so far over the approximate 200km's of mixed driving that I've done. Perhaps I'll change to 265's if I get any rubbing with passengers

The pictures really don’t do them justice.

Thanks for all the kind words gents 🙌

I haven't pushed the car much with the Vitours yet, but my initial impressions aren't bad at all. That could partly be down to the Vitours being 275 wide compared to the 255 Eagle F1s I had before.

I know quite a few 330d owners are running them and seem very impressed with the bang for buck they offer.

I'll give some proper feedback once I've put more mileage on them and had a chance to test the grip properly. For now though, one thing I can definitely say is that the ride on non-runflats is so much nicer!

Whether I'd choose them over the Eagle F1s again, I'll reserve judgement until I've pushed them a bit more.

Update - 236 500 km - Maintenance

With age and mileage starting to catch up with the 2015 330d, there were a few things I’d been wanting to get done on the car

As luck would have it, something always seemed to come up and put the maintenance on hold

Eventually, I bit the bullet, dropped the car off at @Clint@MMS AUTO on Sunday, and let him work his magic

The following was replaced and serviced:
  • Front upper and lower control arms, tie rods and steering rack boot kits
  • Propshaft flex disc (guibo)
  • A/C condenser
  • Motul DOT 5.1 brake fluid
  • Gearbox service kit and Motul ATF fluid
  • Handbrake bracket
  • OEM BMW turbo downpipe clamp
  • Smoke test
These updates, together with the previous battery, coilover and engine mount replacements, mean the car is now pretty much sorted from a maintenance perspective

The only remaining item Clint recommended addressing is the water pump

I've also fitted a fresh set of Vitours. Looking forward to seeing how they perform, especially given the reviews
  • 234 370 km - 2 x 265/30/19 - Vitour Formula Spec Z
  • 236 400 km - 2 x 235/35/19 - Vitour Formula Spec Z
Slowly but surely, getting the 330d back to where it should be👌

Careful now, you are single handedly keeping the value of 330d high.
 
Hey Anees.
Car is looking great.

Just a question can we run the std run flat set up on these rims.
225x40x19
255x35x19

I am also looking at getting these wheels for my 330d

Hi bro

I have seen guys on bimmerpost run the 225/255 setup but that's with non runflats and stretch

I don't think the runflats will be able to stretch

Ideally I would say 235/265 is the minimum to run safely
