What wheels are these... are they fake CSL's?

Also, can someone emlighten me on the transmission in this car... is it full tiptronic as in flappy pads or what sort of set up is it

thanks in advance
 
I can take the gearbox question.

It's a stardard auto box which in tiptronic mode can either change up or down using a push pull of the gear lever, or use of the paddles for the same purpose

It's just a different way of forciong changes on the autobox and is very satisfying to use for fun.

Pressing the sport button also changes the throttle sensitivity, moves the gearshift points and reduces steering assistance
 
If you look in the picture of the steering wheel you will see the 'flappy paddles'.

Those wheels are more like 'fake' M5 wheels rather than fake CSL wheels.

They do come in manual guise, but you have to be a 'driving god' like Woot to handle the power.
 
The rims don't look like the M5 one either. There's a slight curve to it, plus the 'lip' is different. They do look nice and suite the Z4C very well though (whatever they are).
 
the wheels can be found occasionally on ebay, i looked at them for mine. 19" staggered setup, if i can remember the name or find a link i will post it. i have seen this same question on this forum before, leave it with me.
 
here we go. Cruize alloys 134. ive also seen them on a E46 Cab and they looked really good.

Cool thanks, are they genuine BMW wheels, I take it they are not considering they don't seem to be that common...
