I don't care about how the 18" wheels look, I care about whether my winter setup will work with the new car or if I wasted 2.5 grand last year I wish someone from BMW just came out and clarified this. Surely this cannot be that much of a top secret information, can it?

Now it's official.
18 inch wheel from configurator. I think I will stick with 19. This wheel would probably look better if finish was in gun metal or black. Last edited by parky1215; 01-17-2014 at 08:54 PM.. |

Uh, no. The 18's won't have any more gap than the 19's. The overall diameter of the tire remains the same. However, the amount of wheel goes down. So you have more black, which makes the gap look larger, but it really isn't.

I can't see them putting 18s on the M4 as stock. Even the 335is comes with 19s. I just don't see it.

I guess that US is a more sport oriented market (more manual transmission and 18" track wheels sold). My guess is that the track cars will be purchased with 6sp, cloth interior and 18s.

Someone said that the chrome on the black wheels is a black chrome, but it sure doesn't look that way in any of the pictures. It looks more like a light gray chrome. Can anyone that has seen the wheels in person confirm the color?

I plan on going to the DC auto show this weekend so I'll see how the wheel colors look on silverstone and yas marina blue cars. |
