Yes, but the stock 19" wheels are by no means cheap. It's not as if BMW is giving them away. $1200 as an option. And as Greg is saying, in volume they would be comparable in value to a set of aftermarket wheels which sell for $3k. I'm not taking any offense in any of this. We're just discussing.

The E92, "performance" wheels, IMO as of now, are the 18s...there is no PRESSING reason to just have 18's (other than ride quality) and not 19's other than for performance. http://wheelweights.net/ The E46 Competition wheels (CSL?) are marked as not being forged and weighing 24 F/25.5 R which is REALLY light for a cast 19'' wheel. |

No way BMW does their own wheels. Sure, they probably do the concept design and design development, but a wheel company is doing the bulk of the work. I thought the producing company might be stamped on the back, but though it does say "Germany", I didn't see a company name. Not sure what the "AISi1" means.

AlSi is Aluminum-Silicone alloy...nothing to do with brand. |

E46 19" weights (F/R) lbs: ZCP = 23/24 (spun cast) OEM = 28/29 (forged) So unless these E92 M3 wheels are also spun cast and again BMW is using the term "forged" as they did on the ZCP's, this 23/26 weight is kind of too light compared with the E46 M3's OEM's. |

Brake/suspension photos
I'm getting ready to leave for Sun Valley in the morning--give me a break! Okay, since you insist, here are a couple. Rotors are a little rusty because I had just washed the car and nto driven it. Rear calipers are pretty whimpy, but brakes seem good so far.
