Very nice and welcome to the Thundernight club. It really does pop when polished and in sunlight. 👍🏻

Exactly same scenario as Sars, you were 2 weeks too late for me. Also got a set of 799 wheels and shod them with CC3 Sports! GLWTS

Good to hear. Managed to source a set of 799M 19 inch wheels off eBay with only 1000 miles on them for £850 and plan to fit CC3 sport tyres. 👍🏻

Thanks for the full breakdown, yes I originally was looking to see if a set of 19 inch 791 would work given they are more common. Think I’ve decided to track down a set of use 798M as they are the recommended size from BMW 👍🏻

Awesome info, thanks @sars appreciate your quick reply. That is a bargain for the 799s and if I could find a set they cheap would go for it. Cheapest I’ve seen is over a grand so far. Might investigate the 798s 👍🏻

Thanks for your input, really appreciated. As far as I know the fronts are 348mm and rears are 325mm so might get away with 18 inch rims as you say. Appreciate you posting those eBay links, the set of 798s might be a good option by the looks of it. According to ChatGPT the offset is...

Have an M40i and want to avoid 799s due to cost and rarity of second hand sets for use as a winter setup. Am considering investing in these as the car can be skittish on wet/cold surfaces and have an occasional 80 mile commute on country A roads. Has been said that an 18 inch winter setup up...

Sorry to hijack this thread but what options did you look at for a winter setup @sars ? Have an M40i and want to avoid 799s due to cost and rarity second hand. Note you said 18s would fit but was dubious about M brake clearance. Was considering taking a punt on 19 inch 791M wheels as they are...

Black M40i on a private 55 plate going through Marcham, Oxfordshire at 7pm yesterday (Thursday 17th July). Sorry to say this but black (exterior) on black (interior) on black (wheels) does nothing for the G29 and makes it look so dull…

Misano blue 30i 19 plate parked in the black bourbon car park in Carterton yesterday (Saturday 12th). Looked very similar to the one I almost bought back in 2020 from Dick Lovett Hungerford just as COVID was kicking off.

Congrats, looks great with the second best colour for the G29 :thumbsup:

Thundernight M40i on a private plate parked at the Faringdon (Oxfordshire) petrol station at around 2:30pm. Gave it a double take as it drove past me jogging as thought someone had nicked my car 🤣

Nice, think you’ll enjoy the G29 more than the E89. My experience so far at least :thumbsup:

Many congrats and welcome to the best colour combo club :thumbsup:

Yeah I’d push a lot harder. We got £300 to spend anywhere just for a small bit of cosmetic damage due to their recovery service when the car was a week old and only had a loaner for a few days. £500 credit is a joke.
