Thanks, I see you had a Gen I yourself. These cars came a long way.

I feel the D4 to D4 move is not worth it for me. The tech on the D4 is already getting dated. This generation of 5 series will have the newest 2017 tech that should be good for some years to come. I...

Older style and discontinued wheels, but not bad if they are a true multi piece with a strong barrel. Hopefully you got a very good deal on them.
