Always rather liked Apex alloys - mine are EC-7s but ARC-8s look ace with the right offset and dish imo
I really like these a great deal. I hope you don't mind but I think I'm going to get myself a set for my Z4MR?
Not at all chap - I'm not the alloy police, you do what you want
I can dig out the details of mine (offset and width etc) if it helps? In retrospect I'd have liked wider fronts but on net I'm happy

Any info you could give me would really help me a great deal thanks. Even though some other members have tried explaining it to me, I still never know what the right one for my Z4MR offset. I wanted to get one of the older style Alpina wheels, but could never work out if they would fit my car (17"/18")
While not being the Alloy police, I thought it be polite to just asked if you were ok with someone else having the same wheels, as on some other forums I was once a member of *Cough* *e30* *Cough* *forum* *Cough* I've seen some of the most savage flaming and personal attacks I've witnessed outside of upper school! :rofl:
Well the standard 224s for an M are 8J x 18 ET42 on the front and 9J x 18 ET30 on the rear, so I'd use that as a starting point.
Then maybe go here to see if other options will work:- https://www.willtheyfit.com/
I've never seen anyone on this forum have an issue with someone else fitting the same wheels they have - we are obviously much more relaxed than other forums.

Outside of the guitarist forum I use, this forum and Zroadster.org have been really enjoyable to interact with. I still chuckle about the horrified
replies I got on here last year, when I said I wanted to put a set of Alpina Classic's (Softlines) on my Z4MR. Truth be told, if there was a staggered set of Alpina wheels I could fit on my Z4MR, I would still do it. If anyone is wondering what I have been jabbering on about for the best part of a year, these are the style of Alpina wheels I want to put on my M
I owned my Alpina C2 2.5 for 5 years, which was the longest I'd been able to hold onto a car. It had about 240,000 miles on the clock. I had actually put a lot of money into the car, but the rear arches kept rotting out and it made the car look tatty. It seemed like it really needed a full restoration/rebuild (which the kid who bought it from me did). While I don't miss the headache of owning that Alpina, I do miss having one. For me, it's always been about the Alpina wheels, gauges and front spoiler. Subtle differences, that make a car stand out.
No worries - the specs of mine are: Apex EC7 18x8.5 ET35 on the front and 18x10 ET25 of the rear
The tyres are quite chunky on mine particularly at the rear - 265/40/18 rear, 245/40/18 front. The rear arch liners have rubbed away a bit on the outer edges, but I suspect that's more due to track use with semi slicks which have more of a square shoulder than the road tyres (Michelin pilot supersports) I run at the moment.
