are these the rarest BMW wheel ever?

I really like them, they were used on the Z4 coupe launch and can still be speced now but i've never ever seen any in the flesh

EDIT: if anyone has a set of these i'll buy them!!!

They are cool, i also seem to remeber that that car was also in matt white paint finish ?
 
Theyre some big brakes fitted behind those!

The concept coupe has the prefacelift bumpers, the tail lights are also similar in design but seem much more modern.

The overall concpet seems to retian the best bits from the prefacelift and later facelift IMO.
 
Here you go, i thought i had seen these before. If you search for Z4 Coupe on Flea-bay you will find this beauty. It is a LHD, so not sure the origins of the car?

Look naff on the blue car !......maybe its because they are all siver.
 
Thes ones on the concept car were 19" and they reduced them to 18" for the production cars, which is why the ones on the blue car don't look as good.
 
I've seen them on a car at my dealer - in real life they actually look smaller than 18" - I had to kneel down and check them to see what size they were.
 
The one's on the blue car look very small. Look at the space between the tyre and wheel arch. Maybe its running smaller tyres too?
 
They were only an option on the SE not the Sport, so the suspension isn't lowered like the rest of the 3.0 cars, which is why it looks a bit 4x4 ride height.
 
When I bought my red Coupe in December I actually had the pick of the one I got or a silver one with these wheels. I wasn't a fan to be honest, looked contrived and messy on the delicately balanced creases and concave surfaces of the Z4 Coupe.
 
My 08 3.0 SI came with 241's.



Actually I am not a fan of the looks.
I tried this is an experiment,





Still not totally taken by the looks.
I have to admit that the first pic on this thread (on the coupe looks pretty good.
