for $200 its a great buy and its a very decent fit on the E91 spec wise. I wouldnt go pouring money into it because its not worth THAT much. market valve would be around $500 for the wheels alone and maybe $800 with decent good condition tyres. But I know you are refurbing them yourself so its all good but if you were paying someone to do it at $200 a wheel its not worth it for sure.

haha it looks like the bonnet wont even fit on that.

nice find!

any high quality fully synthetic 5w-30 or 5w-40 should be fine. castrol edge, penrite hpf5, mobil 1, etc etc

there is definitely a difference between the F20 and the E92, my car for example originally came with something stupid with offset between 47-52 front and rear. there was a big gap between the rim and the guards and so I went for these wheels to push the track out further and even now it is not extending past the guards so plenty of room to play with. but as it is now, i have zero rubbing issues. Also for your reference, I have fitted on an e91, 18x8 et13 front and 18x9.5 et25 with 225/40 and 255/35 no problems with rubbing. so judging from that, my initial recommendation of 18x8.5 et30 and 18x9.5 et25 should be a-ok

I would agree with going with OEM genuine wheels whenever possible if not go for a reputable brand wheel. as reference I am running a set of square BBS 18x8.5 ET38 but with 225 40 front and 255 35 rear tyres (yes, i know, staggered tyres on a sqaure wheel, but it does fit well) they are a lightweight forged wheel and weigh next to nothing compared to aftermarket cast alloy wheels or even genuine oem wheels. I would wait and see if any good deals pop up, you can find some good secondhand options from time to time, dont pay $1500-2000 especially for aftermarket wheels, thats just silly. there are plenty of people running conservative set up's that dont require guard rolling or stretching tyres. you are lucky because the e92 335i has a huge huge community and hundreds of thousands of people fitting wheels all the time.

Sounds like you know what you are talking about and what you want. Its your car so you are obviously free to do as you wish. If you think the factory wheels sit about perfect, then sure by all means go for the fitment you want. my opinion is that its "better" to get a wider track by going for wider wheels/tyres by pushing it towards the guards but not to the extent that it will rub/scrape and look like a 18 year old kid with rubber band tyres on made in china wheels. if you want performance and to be able to put down more HP to your rear wheels (suggested by the mods and tunes you have in mind) then I would suggest to look at overseas forums where people have done the necessary wheel fitment mods to achieve this result. I totally disagree with the extra width going towards the strut. you will find that it may rub if you go full lock if you go down this road. Also, no one said you need to try a dozen different wheel sizes. Thats why you learn from what others (the masses) have done and tried, and benefit off their errors and successes.

i only skim read through the above posts but I think you are going in the wrong direction. 17x8 et35 is not okay for e92 335i my personal aim for fitment would be something along the lines of: 18x8.5 et30 with 235 40 18 18x9.5 et25 with 265 35 18 you could even go slightly more aggessive with the offsets but staying around these numbers would give you a nice easy fit without guardwork and inner tyre well clearance. dont bother with size calculator that tells you X mm's more in more out nonsesnse because you will be comparing it to factory spec which is pretty bad baseline anyway and not a good indication of where you want to be.

First thing to learn is never trust the advert. The dealer or person listing usually knows jack all about the car they are selling claiming msport this mspec that. Better to check yourself with carjam and vin decoder

the wheels are definitely better suited on a different car, i had the same feeling when I had them on the E91 but its not too bad. fitment is pretty solid.

some non M cars have tri colour stitching. like my old E36 318ti msport came with tri colour stitching but was the thin wheel not the more padded M ones.

This looks absolutely fantastic, quite a bit different to the other (very similar) set that christian has (and the one ray has just posted above). Good call on the ferric grey. makes it looks much better and more detailed than black. edit: HOLD ON WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE BLING BLING CENTRE CAPS????

even the BMW logo light ups from the door!

no wonder you sold your sedan. and cheap too! you had something better lined up. looks nice man!

@Cab?

that sentence makes it sound like if you didnt have run flat tyres and you have a puncture, then you dont need replacement.

pic?

spotted these new suzuki s-cross suv's around and couldnt help but think of the new x

https://www.trademe.co.nz/2201537951 330i non msport but touring, nz new looks decent and well priced. not in christchurch though. https://www.trademe.co.nz/2004691492 a good compromise if you want to pocket some change and happy with a 2.5L. local too.

why would a nz new nice tidy example end up at a trade in warehouse? I highly doubt it has been treated that well but its just a feeling. 10k is HUGE money for a poverty spec e90. these things are headed for 5k territory in the next year. its not msport, only has msport front and rear body kit but nothing else. stock seats, stock interior lining (not black but light grey), stock steering wheel, stock wheels, aftermarket tinted taillights. stay away!! both of these look decent but you are playing a totally different game going for a twin turbo 335i n54 as opposed to a reliable and rock solid n52 3L 6 cylinder.

9 is better but 8.5 is alright if the tyre size is 255 imo!

not that cheap. its cheap-ish for the kms but it has undesireable interior colour and is non msport. there are better examples for sure
