Gentlemen, I have a question for you fine people (archive)

I just purchased my first BMW, and I am pretty jazzed by it. I have been devouring the archives on this message board, and I have noticed a few quirks about the car I would like to ask about.

--- I noticed a few people mentioned auto tranny damage when you rev the car in neutral? not that i neutral drop a car, but just wondering if it is true.

--- is there anywhere you guys know of where i can get a good set of 16x7.5's to replace the 390s? new or used.. and what brands are good?

--- are there any other quirks or words of wisdom that you guys have for a new 535is owner? Any no-no's that someone that plans on worshipping his car, wouldnt think of? My previous experience is with japanese sports cars, Z class, Supras, etc..

I appreciate this greatly, I am joining the bmwcca, and look forward to being obsessed with my car. Thank you for your time and responses, in advance.

CJ
87 535iS!
