Hi all,

I recently had someone run into my parked 35is and it's now in the bodyshop being fixed up. They need to replace one of the alloys (19 inch Beyern Aviatics in silver) bit are having trouble sourcing one. Does anyone know where I might get one, or have a recommendation of a similar design so we can swap all four? Below is a photo for reference.

Thanks!

I had these on my red 3.5is. Bought them from a fellow member bob333. Don’t know if he is still a member . He I think bought them new so may know more about the company than I do. I believe that Bayern only manufacture for BMW. I loved them on the car but have seen very few for sale. So am not sure whether they are still available.
My car reg was SF10 OKL.

I thought it might have been my car. It still looks in great condition. I absolutely loved it. There is no sound to compare with that straight six when you start it up. I sold during the COVID period because I wasn’t using it against my wife’s advice. She said I would miss it. She was right. So now, as a compromise, I have a white low mileage 2 litre E89. Good fun but not in the same class as the 3.5is and Melbourne Red is definitely the best colour.
Continue to enjoy the car and I hope you manage to replace the damaged wheel.

They're lovely looking wheels so I hope you can find one. :thumbsup:

It looks like the Style 230s didn't last too long then Ian!
 
It is indeed a brilliant car, I absolutely love it and was fuming when my neighbour drove into it. I recently (3 months ago) had my first baby and am not planning to change car just yet, car seat fitsin the front with air bags off so it's perfectly practical 😂 I do get a few funny looks when I park in parent and child spaces in Tesco though....
 
Update in case anyone is interested, the BMW garage couldn't source the Aviatics and wanted to replace the whole set but the only ones I felt were the closest replacement were very expensive. They sent the damaged wheel off to a specialist to see if it could be saved and it wasn't actually structurally damaged so they sent the others, had them all stripped back to metal and fully refurbished so the Aviatics live on and look great!

I'm actually toying with the idea of swapping out the 35is for a 2+2 (either a 911 or Evora) and now that it has had the work done seems like a good time to do so. Feel free to message me if you are interested and think you can twist my arm 🤣
