imp75 - my E89 296's on my newly acquired E86 - I put them on whilst I get the original 108's refurbed.
Went to my local alloy specialist and he quoted £777 all in for silver/shadow chrome on the 108's - ouch!
I have seen a lot more reasonable quotes on the forum so will keep looking locally - not brave enough to do a DIY job!
They look really good!

That looks very smart indeed.
Does it mean your e89 is just on bricks now though?!

as far as modifying their was none, just bolted right up, the offsets make it perfect for our NON-M cars, M cars would need spacers in the rear. but the concavity is perfect and really looks fantastic while in motion, once i have the Z4M rotors with 135I calipers retrofitted it should look great and fill in the wheel well nicley....
you can go with a smaller tire than i did with no issue of rubbing, if you go with the 235/35/19 front then you will have slight rubbing but if you heat and move the wheel well slightly the rubbing is gone, their is no rubbing on full lock so thats great. also you may be able to run more negative camber in the front and not get any rubbing that way and not have to modify the wheel well, i still have my camber pins in.
i also lowered it on eibachs springs.
NOTE: if you run stock ride height you wont have rubbing on the front wheel wells, if you lower it you will have sight rubbing on front tire untill the wheel well is modified or more camber is introduced, and that is only if you run the 235/35/19 in the front, the taller tire is just enough to hit the front 10 oclock position of the wheel well.
other than that now that i have remidied the rubbing issue, all is good and it drives fantastic.
check your local junk yards, found these of a totalled 2011 Z4 and scored them for a real good price.
these are going on this weekend!!!!
Sorry to resurrect this thread but was after some info on the fitment of the 326m wheels. Did you fit all 19x9" all round or did you go with the 19x8" on the front? The reason I ask is because the offset on the front (19x8J) is 29 and the rear (19x9J) is 40, and I was wondering how much clearance you have between the spokes of the wheel and the calipers? I'm not concerned about the clearance between the rim and the caliper as I know this is fine for my setup, but my uprated calipers stick out a fair bit and I was worried that the caliper may hit the spokes of the wheel when fitting onto the hub?
I've tried a rear wheel (19x9J) on the front and the spokes clear the caliper by about 2-3mm so not much really. I don't really want to add a spacer as I'm on the limit in terms of the outer rim being almost flush with the fender. So basically, this wheel just fits but of course the correct wheel for the front would be the (19x8J) and that's the one I would like to fit to maintain a proper staggered setup. I'm concerned though that the 19x8J wheel with the lesser offset may interfere with my brake calipers since I've only got 2-3mm clearance with the 19x9J wheels. Can anyone shed any light on this for me or answer whether it is absolutely necessary to stagger the wheel sizes. I know that the 19x9J will fit all round but will this not cause me any handling problems? If this is ok, then I was thinking of putting 245/35/19 on the front and 275/30/19 on the rear. Does anyone know if this would be ok?
Thanks for your help guys.
Absolutely stunning - was thinking of replacing my CSLs with a set of these.
Nice work.
