![]() ![]() First Look at F80 M3 / F82 M4 Standard 18 Inch Wheels Courtesy of the Build Your Own feature on BMW Belgium's website, we can show you the first (CGI) images of the standard 18" wheels style 513M for the F80 M3 and F82 M4. Tire dimensions are 255/40 ZR18 at the front and 275/40 ZR18 at the rear. An interesting note is that the 18-inch wheels won't clear the optional M carbon ceramic brakes, which will require the optional 19-inch style 437M wheels. For comparison sakes, we have also included CGIs of these 19-inch style 437M wheels, both in silver and in black. Tire dimensions for them are 255/35 ZR19 at the front and 275/35 ZR19 at the rear. Follow our full features/coverage on the brand-new M3 and M4: http://www.bimmerpost.com/m4/ http://www.bimmerpost.com/m3/ 18" 513M on Yas Marina Blue 18" 513M on Austin Yellow 18" 513M on Mineral White 18" 513M on Black Sapphire Metallic 19" 437M 19" 437M Black |

Thanks for the thorough job capturing the pics, south.
Hey, two more related questions: 1. Do you know if there will be an OEM winter wheel like the style 270M for the E9x M3? 2. Regarding the 19's in your picture above, they appear all black. But we've seen others where the surfaces that face outward are a contrasting silver color. Does this differ by market, or is there actually just one design that happens to look different depending on lighting (I realize the above are CGI but I've seen live pictures where they look all black as well)? |

Yes! I like them more than the 19s
Edit: how can we use the build-your-own feature? Edit: found it http://www.bmw.be/vc/ncc/xhtml/start...3#MODEL_ENGINE |

Thanks for the reply south.
I do see what you mean about the lighter color on the wheel face, but thought it could just be the lighting effect used in the render. I wondered because in some pics the contrast between the two colors looked very high, and the face actually appeared silver, making it appear as though it could be a different color combination from what we see here altogether.

Just glad they went with a new design for the standard wheels. Looks good for an 18inch wheel

Aesthetic wise, there are very subtle differences in overall appearance then the 2014 3 series, meanwhile the engineering and the bones of a M3 is a totally different car then the 2014 3 series. I wish BMW would make the M series stand out more then the 3 and the 4 series, rather then only slight appearnce differences that mostly BMW enthusiasts would know

That's a good looking wheel. Should make a fine track wheel for many instead of upgrading to something like apex.
Oh and with a 255 front, I'm guessing that's a 9" wheel so plenty wide for most. |
