Do you just spend a lot of time on the road, or are you just lucky.that you spot so many Ashok?

Are those the standard wheels for that year, or later versions do you know?

They were an option wheel on the E9x B3/D3 BiTurbos. Quite common on later cars (2011/12's)

Not sure their official name but seen them referred to as C10's before.

Looks a bit battle-scared in the photo:
- ns front bumper is ill-fitting
- ns rear door and quarter scraped/dented
- rear bumper/boot sill chipped and scratched maybe too

Not sure this quite right CB, but I'm no Oracle!
Thought these wheels were standard fit on late E9* cars, 2010 model year onwards I think? Earlier cars only had the classic "softline" wheel only.
Optional were the Dynamics?

No worries, happy to be corrected, my "knowledge" is entirely subjective and based on what i've seen for sale, not on anything factual and concrete.

Now you mention it, i can't find any specific examples where later E9x have softlines as opposed to these or dynamics. There are 2010 registered cars on Softlines but i suspect the 2010 model year cars would be realistically registered in 2011+

About right. My Sytner ex demo B3sBiturbo #285 was one of the earliest cars with these wheels; May 2010 iirc. The very earliest D3biturbos had the 'softline' as termed in 09/10 and dynamic options (my d3bt #097 reg mar 2010 was thus optioned) so approx May 2010 was the birth of 'new classics' as they were termed at the time. All E9x B3sBiturbo and F1x B5 and D5 had these unless dynamics optioned on the B3sBiturbo when new.

Shame this E91 looks a little unloved :cry:

Same here CB, mine also based on what I've observed and therefore not factual, so we are in good company :D
