BBS CH-R finish

SwnSng · 02-25-2013, 05:27 PM

I'm going to order a set of 19 BBS CH-R's soon and was on the fence about finish.

F-19X8.5 - et32 - 235/35/19
R-19X9.5 - et 35 - 265/30/19

Have a F30 335i M-Sport in Glacier Silver.

I'm leaning towards either Bright Silver or Titanium definitely not black. Would like to get some opinions.

titanium would give a nice contrast w silver

Do you have the M sport brake option? If so, the front calipers may not clear. I had intended to mount BBS wheels but found the fronts would not fit and had to return them to TireRack.
The BMW wheels have a bevel on the inside to allow clearance.

sorry.. had to

CNSYYC · 02-25-2013, 06:59 PM

Bottom line.... If you have MSport brakes the BBS wheels will not fit. Trust me.
Go to a dealer to see the F30 MSport wheels. There is a half inch bevel behind the spokes

rxander · 02-25-2013, 07:31 PM

5mm Spacers maybe? Anyways, I vote Titanium!

I have the M-Sport package...do the bigger brakes come by default with US cars? I know it's an option on Canadian.

Titanium gets my vote.

I have BBS RS-GTs and wanted to do the M Performance brake kit down the road... would those be okay?

SwnSng · 02-25-2013, 09:57 PM

the IND f30 328i car has this same wheel and tire setup i'm planning to order...he has the M Performance Brake Kit.

RollingLower42 · 02-26-2013, 12:11 AM

I have BBS Reps LM's and am probably getting M Performance brakes down the road.

Will I have any issues with the rims and brakes not fitting like you guys are saying for these BBS?

The poster has an x-drive so perhaps that has something to do with it. So far i've seen 2 M-Sport cars with this setup and it doesn't look like there is an issue.

estragos · 02-27-2013, 10:12 AM

+1 for Titanium!!

maybe I will buy this wheels for my next F30 on AW...

SwnSng · 02-27-2013, 10:41 AM

Everyone has suggested Titanium, only my wife has recommended Bright Silver

SwnSng · 02-27-2013, 02:41 PM

I went with the 19" BBS CH-R - Bright Silver. It was a tough decision and i'm probably still not sure of but I had to make one so hoping I will love it. I guess I can always sell them and start over if not

Thanks all for the opinions.

Here it is

In my opinion you have the best looking f30 thus far. The color comboination with the matte wheels are perfect as is the drop. Everytime I show a friend your car to get an opinion on matte titainum ch-r's the common reply is "that's tiggggght"

Looking forward to seeing it!

Did you have to get spacers for the front brake kit to fit with the CH-Rs?

No spacers were needed.
