So beautiful!
Are your BBS Offset 35? They are 17x8? Thanks
Thank you, these are 17x7.5, ET35 Axis Klassics, not BBS.
I had 19" BBS LMs on my last show car... Spent a fortune on those wheels. I am happy with these though, just ordered different centercaps
Nice, what part of Italy? I spent more time in Italy last year than anywhere else. I worked in Pordenone, my wife's family is from Montella AV.
Good luck with your Mini

I'm from a city between Milan and Turin.
Very beautiful Pordenone! I've never been in Avellino but i know that Campania is so sunny and fantastic
And you where you live? I have been just in NY.
i'm going to buy a BBS Replica like yours, but i'm worried about ET 35 and "channel" of the wheels 7,5 (i don't know how do you said in the States), because i think that the wheel comes out from the shap of the car. In Italy could be illegal...I hope I explained, thank's

I am 10 minutes from NYC, I am in New Jersey. The wheels don't stick out on my car. One problem that I have is that when going around 100kph, and if you hit a big bump, the rear rubs a bit at the back wheels. It is very rare but it happens...
Last year I visited Udine, Trieste, Venice, Bologna, Verona, Treviso, Amalfi, Ravello etc... It was a good year, Italy is a beautiful country.
I will try to find you some pictures so you can see for yourself if the wheels stick out.

Thank you so much! Did you bought it on internet? How much did you paid?
Probably the problem could be about the suspension, what suspension do you have?
Wow you visited Italy a lot! I want to have a big travel in the US with my girlfriend next summer
I'm planning on keeping it past the warranty... September 2016...then it's on to 300 HP....
Wow! It will be a bomb!
My warranty will stop in September 2015, then i will remove the DPF (it's so bad for my diesel engine) and i'll remap di ECU.
I hope it will be about 170/180 HP.
What do you recommend using to wash/wax the car? I also have a 2 inch scratch(nail deep) on the side. Any recommendations on getting it filled in? I was looking into the turtle wax scratch repair kit with clear coat pen.
Personally, the best touch up paint I have ever used (including on my 2014 MCS midnight black) was bought from Dr. Colorchip. Very easily fills in the chips and scratches and with the blending solution/cloth you end up not being able to see what you repaired when done.
As for the plastic trim.......bought and used black WOW and that stuff puts everything else I have tried to shame. Repels water and dirt and makes the black plastic dark (better than new).
