I still think the 405M looks fantastic -- if I could justify the spend right now (major house renovation underway!) I'd have them in a heartbeat! I'll have to stick with the 403M for now.

Thanks all for the feedback.
I am looking at other after market wheels as well but the 405M wheels just look so good. But looks aren't everything so wanted to get an idea of what the drive with them was like. Will update with pics once I finally decide. Thanks again. |

Thanks, but they don't look right to me on the 3, still prefer to 405M by quite some margin.

In how many miles do the 403 and 405 need tire replacements, and how much do the tires cost, any idea?
I read somewhere that 403 is 10k miles but I cant find where I read that. How many miles on the 405? |

Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires are very typical if you get rid of the run flats, run you about $1k on tirerack |

Just to provide an update... after all the back and forth on 403m vs 405m... I ended up getting the 19" BBS CHR rims with Michelin PSS Apologies for the quality of photos. The weather has not been very cooperative.

If I was going to spend $4k on wheels I would be purchasing forged BBS. The 400 and 403 wheels are HEAVY over 26lbs just for fronts. BBS forged shed 5lbs.
The 405 wheels are not all the pretty looking IMO - the black with "tuning" fork look just comes across odd to me. |

The more I see the 405M wheels, the less I like them...

That is one thing I noticed coming from the STI world where in those forums most everyone is concerned about wheel weights, but in BMW forums seems most people are concerned about looks - weird. |

Spend $8000 on performance kit on bmw and faster and much better than the HSV will be for maybe another 10 years unfortunately( I say that as bought 10 new holdens and this 1st bmw), last two cars have been HSV and unlikely the next. You got a great bargin i thought i did well with 4500 for rims and wheels. They are 6k for rims only from bmw australia, thats crazy. Your sooooo right about the weight its crazy. 45kg including packagingmine are with UPS flying around the world. Hope they look great not seen on a car yet in real life. |

I was looking for a long time but only could find heap wheels to fit that were not old and been around for a decade. Staggered made harder Advanti Catala CL i think the name look great but Australia not bringing in staggared sizes... But most are heavy and amazing how dramatic the car dynamucs are changed. |

My EB2 M Performance edition 335 included the 405m wheels. I wasn't sure that I liked them at first. The thin spoke design looked a bit too dainty against the more brute aesthetic of the car. But since purchasing the car a few weeks ago, the 405m's have really grown on me. There is no other wheel out there that looks like this and I have come to appreciate its unique design. I really wanted the 624m's, but decided that I wasn't willing to wrestle the wheel into the deal, so I just stuck with the 405m's.
The 403's have also been a favourite of mine. I feel that this wheel design fits the car perfectly design wise. I'm thinking this may be a good winter wheel for my car. |
