Question about 18" wheels
This will be my first m3 and ive been struggling choosing options. The bmwusa.com website shows some nice looking 18" wheels but it does have the "european model" disclaimer. Do you all think that the 18" wheels will look as good as they do on the website? Nearly every picture ive seen is with the 19".

what you see is what you will get.
Try doing a in the pictures thread to get a better idea of what the 18s will look like.

^ These "not so cool" looking wheels are the wheels BMW offers in combination with snow tires, M double spoke style 270.
The standard 18" wheels are M double spoke style 260 and are the wheels shown on bmwusa. Only the finish of the wheels might be different (darker) in the flesh... Best regards, south |

that's exactly what i was hoping. the ones on bmwusa are not bad at all. i was concerned about the "european model shown" disclaimer. glad the others were for snowtires. appreciate it. im new at this and about to place the order.

Ah well, but at least we already have our M3 (ooops, was that harsh now ?) Edit: on second thoughts, yes, the last sentence was a bit harsh, sorry. Hope to see your pics soon ! |
