Hey guys, long time no speak.


I'm on the hunt for a code for a BMW colour, namely Ontario Gold Metallic so I can get hold of some to get my wheels refurbished in it.

I've spent two days googling now and all I keep coming back to is the photos of the M6 painted in it which is what I first found.

Maybe it's just me being a tard, but I can't find the colour code. Can anyone help me out?


Cheers,

Vard.

Two things. Firstly, thanks.

Secondly, if you have come back with the correct colour code after a quick look on google after I have spent two days on it, I hate you.

*Edit*

Though it really would point towards my being a bit of a 'tard.

Thanks Daz.

I may be back more frequently if my mind swings back towards an e34 535i as a drift hack next year, rather than the Volvo 740 Turbo wagon I'm currently picturing...

:P

I'll put some pictures of the wheels up once they've been refurbished. The plan is, Ontario Gold Metallic as the base, with a dropcoat of a brighter, richer gold dusted on the top of it.

I think it'll go pretty well against the dark green of the 850, some people aren't as optimistic lol.

The Volvo 740 turbo sure is a machine but.... MY Love for the E34 (EVERYTHING about it) over whelms the awesomeness to which the 740 is.

May I ask, what happened to the V8 E34 you built?

Flat grey primer, Corvette (c2 I think) turbine alloys, bosozoku oil cooler, purple tinted fog/strobe lights...

There really is something about it isn't there. Some people won't like it but it does something for me. Needs bigger wheels tbh though.

I'm not liking the Corvette style wheels. I did recognise them but my first thought on them was the wheels from the E34 M5

I kinda dig 'em, but my preference as far as 'vette wheels goes has to be the C4 sawblades. I'm on the quiet hunt for a set for my 850 after being shown this by one of the guys on Volvospeed.

Sorry for the epic size picture...

Problem I've got is the sawblades are 8.5j front, 9.5j rear. No point trying to put a pair of 245 wheels on the 850, they'll rub like hell everywhere, so I need a set of four front wheels. Makes it awkward.

To be fair, I like any wheel that are directional (Dunno how else to put it)

Mmmmmm.

Stars would've been on my shortlist if they were 5x108.

Another shortlisted wheel is the Volvo V70R 'Comet' alloys.

VERY similar to the Monster I recently owned :)

Just realised I never did put up some 'after' pictures.

Here they are, on the car with new wheel bolts and H&R 15mm hubcentric spacers fitted to the rear.

:D

They look pretty bling when you park under a street light as I discovered the other day; streetlights don't flatter dark coloured cars as we know, but they really bring up the gold.

But otherwise, they look pretty good in all kinds of light IMO.

I'm loving 'em.

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hi David Welcome to the Forum A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have. As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs. The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should Good Luck Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hey everyone, I’m thinking about buying a 2021 BMW X3 and want to make sure I’m covering all my bases before making a decision. I’ve heard about VIN decoders and how they can give you details about a car, but I’m not sure what kind of info they actually provide. Do they show anything useful, like accident history or open recalls? Or are they just for basic specs? If you’ve used one that worked well, I’d love to hear about it and any tips for getting the most out of it. Thanks so much!

      Z3 airbag wiring,

      Hi, Yes The air bag light is on. I have not heard of an emulator? It must be a device to turn the light off? The person that owned this before me was an older lady but maybe she had a mechanic do something to this? Thanks for your help, JayMe
