Whenever someone orders a car with BMW Performance wheels, which are a dealer fit option, the car is delivered on one set of wheels (often 400M) which are then swapped as soon as it reaches the dealer, hence an excess of supply.

Mate, thanks. This is probably a route I'll try, save myself a few quid and also piece of mind rather than arsing about on the bay.

Yeah just speak to a decent dealer and get them to confirm your choice will fit. I dealt with a top bloke who clarified with the wheel manufacturer and as a result they fit fine

Mine are 225 45 18 ET30 all round. I have the larger brakes.

I know it's summer, but living in Scotland winter tyres are helpful! I've had them in previous car and they make a huge difference.

I have just got 330d xdrive msport+ (with bigger brakes and 19" wheels). Dealer was hopeless in advising which winter tyres would fit, so found this thread really useful.

As a result, I've identified wheels offered by BMW. They are 18" Double-Spoke 405M matt black on 225/45/18 Pirelli Scottozeros.

Does anybody know if these or any of the other wheels offered by BMW would fit over brake calipers?

Does anyone know if these would fit my (soon to be) car with the M Sport blue brakes? They came off a 535d Touring apparently:

At 19" probably!

I'm not convinced to be honest, I think the wheel is wider, 8.5 at the front and 9 at the back as opposed to 8/8.5. Not sure if that will make a difference on a 3er?

How about these? I know these will fit but can I fit the same size tyre all round such as 225/40/19 or will I have to fit 255 on the rears?

Tyres have had it but you're going to replace with winters anyway.

No mention of any rim damage (worth checking).

They're a bit expensive for ones with worn out tyres, someone on here posted recently that a dealership had a set with delivery mileage for £600!
