Here's my sdrive35is with 19" M6 wheels.

That looks like a very sensibly marked and spaced car park area

Wheels look great suit the car!

Had these on the old Zed 18" BBS CK's -

Now that I like very much. Don't suppose you're selling the wheels... ???

Just bought the car few days ago and changed the tyres from my old E85 Z4.

Wheels are
8,5x19 ET34 with 235/35R19
9,5x19 ET34 with 265/30R19

I think you can get them somewhere closer then from Finland

Did those wheels with those offsets just go straight on? Standard suspension? No spacers, mods, no rubbing etc?

I'm still trying to plug my way through what will and what won't fit - and come to some understanding regarding what degree of offset I can safely play with. Nice looking car by the way.......

I've only had my Z4 for 3 weeks now but I have just replaced the Bridgestone RFT's on my 2009 E89 with Goodyear F1 Directional 5's and WOW, what a difference. Never had tyres make such a huge difference to noise/handling and comfort. I was going to go the 18" route as well but couldn't justify the NZ$3000 it was going to cost here in NZ for the rims I wanted, so stuck to the factory 17's. Local tyre shop was running a buy 3 get 1 tyre free. Cost me just 442 UK pounds with wheel alignment. I'm wrapped!

Yeah..wheels were taken from my old E85 Z4. Standard sdrive35is with M-Sport suspension, no spacers, no mods and no rubbing what so ever. Thinking about lowering it 20mm next summer.

Here's picture of my old E85, with H&R -35mm springs.... there was some rubbing


Got new 18" CSL style winter wheels few days ago.. have to add picture with those too.

I'd go for these or preferably by a better model in the first place to achieve better value for money.

Non run flats are recommended but stay with a good tyre brand

Thanks, that's very helpful. Were there any issues with Tyre Pressure Monitoring that you had to overcome to get it to work as fitted?

No problems. Haven't done anything to tyre pressure monitoring

It's still summer in Finland so here's a photo with my winter wheels



Wheels are M3 CSL replica 8,5x18" ET37 rims with 235/40R18 rubber.

15mm spacers in the back.

[Tricky Dicky]

We have the 19" 326 wheels I think they look superb ,I would stick with the run flats,as BMW must know what they are doing , also I like the idea my wife won't be stuck on some roadside in the rain phoning me up to sort the problem out ,one problem though with v low profile tyres are the rims are v prone to scuffing , I will be sending ours to the man in Lichfield to get them refurbished ,

I don't think it's the rims

That looks soooooo nice on those wheels. How do you feel about your new car compared to your old one.??
