Day time Running Lights.
Aka, the old lights, the LED's would be lit up without the lights being physically turned on, so I am asking if the DRL's still function?

New wheels and a set of wider rubber (Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's in 225/40/18 and 255/35/18) fitted along with 10mm hubcentric spacers up front and 12mm in the rear. The 12mm are rubbing a bit and do look a little wide so they will likely be swapped for 10mm or removed completely.
Did a quick impromptu photo session today while scouting for places to break out the SLR. They didn't come out too bad despite being snapped with a cell camera.

Funny you mentioned the black 135i badge. I've just picked one on eBay while searching for the wheel caps Rowen suggested :biglol:
Car is still on standard suspension. I can see what you mean by it looking lower, but I suspect that's a combination of a few things, i.e the angle of the photos, the spacers as you mentioned and the fact that going for a wider tyre and keeping the same value of profile as the stock tyres resulted in there actually being more profile to fill the arches (which is also the main reason for the rubbing I'm experiencing at the rear)
If I can't get the spacers working rub-free I'll remove both sets and opt for a slight drop, e.g. Eibach or BMW OEM Performance
