I reckon they will fit but will look so lost in the fenders, might be worth trying on my F87.

I picked up my car a few weeks ago and figured since there's very few pics of the Estoril / Coral combo on a convertible I should put a few up.

Thanks to Geektechlive for posting pics of his car, as I don't think I'd have been brave enough to order this combo without them. Second, for anyone worried about the blue and red, don't be. The Estoril is an unusual color in that it's obviously pretty bright but nothing seems to clash with it. Plus the red interior is nowhere near as "cherry red" as it seems in the pictures. It's got a little orange in it and it's a nice contrast with what is otherwise a very dark interior.

Anyway...this is a lease, so I don't anticipate doing much to it. I did swap out the silver mirror caps for matching ones, plus add //M puddle lights. And of course the child seat which is a large part of why I ended up with the 2 in the first place.

It finally arrived!!!

Took delivery of the M240i this morning. EB II, Terra Dakota interior w/ hexagonal trim, 6-speed, heated seats, nav. Loving it so far (18 miles!). You can see my trusty E46 in the background, which will remain in the fleet. Garage brothers, separated by 15 years.

I have to take it back to the dealer, as I discovered some curb rash on the right rear wheel, which I failed to notice on the walk-around. They were super cool about it, and I'm taking it in on Monday to get a new wheel.

Only driven for a few short errands since the drop so hard to say. But so far, feels a bit bouncy. Been reading on other forums that it might just be too low. so gonna raise it half an inch and see how it feels. but it feels almost stock so overall not bad. Just a bit bouncy atm.

EDIT: after settling for a day or 2, feels more firm, less body roll, but a tad bouncy over wavey roads. definitely handles better. but still planning to raise it half an inch to increase the preload and see how that affects the ride.

Thanks for the update. I'm looking at the b14s for a conservative drop so let me know how they are after you raise it a bit.

raised a 1/4 inch all around. seemed to do the trick. less bouncy but still looks low. probably about 1.25-1.5 finger gap between fender n wheel all around now.

I totally despise the standard 436 style wheels on my 240 although the colour is nice.

Can only agree with you, why do we Brits get leather only and those crappy wheels (235/240 model).
