What wheels look good on a BMW 3 Series IV (E46) Facelift? Finishes colour-by-colour

Fit gets you rolling — finish is what makes a BMW 3 Series IV (E46) Facelift look right. Every wheel below is confirmed to fit yours (5×120 PCD, 72.6mm bore, staggered); the call on colour is where we earn our keep — it leaves the factory in Dark Blue, Avus Blue Metallic, Moreagruen Metallic – 1, Montreal Blue Metallic and more — here’s what we’d run on each. Crumpsall Alloys supply and fit from our Manchester workshop, free fitting available.

A BMW 3 Series IV (E46) Facelift in Dark Blue, we’d run silver — silver keeps a blue car clean and classic — never dates, lets the paint be the star; or gunmetal — the modern pick — cool-on-cool, reads premium and a bit purposeful.
