New Shoes

pashad13 · 04-16-2024, 09:08 PM

Just fitted a square set (19x9) of 359m wheels to my 2015 328d xdrive. Wrapped in 245/35 michelin pilot sport AS 4 tires. Absolutely love them both aesthetically and feel-wise. Feels much more planted (was previously on pirelli p zero’s on oem 18’s) and somehow more comfortable as well. Also just looks like it suits the car much better than the 18’s.

Next up: shadowline LCI taillights, kermatdi stage 2 tune, and m performance big brake kit (370mm rotors front, 345mm rear, drilled & slotted w/ red 2 piston calipers).

6 months into ownership as my daily and loving this car so far. can’t complain about power when i’m averaging 37mpg

Info on the suede/alcantara interior trim? Looks good

I thought the exact same, is it a CS interior or replica? The holes in the 12 o'clock in the wheel make me think CS or CS style

I really like the wheels. I was originally thinking 400m for my 328i however, these 359m are giving me pause...

pashad13 My question on the wheels, have you cleaned them yet? If so, 1 to 10 how hard are they to clean?

I sort of frankensteined it together.

The dry carbon/alcantara gear selector, surround, e-brake & boot, as well as the dry carbon steering wheel insert are all orginal OEM M-Performance parts i sourced.

The alcantara door handle inserts, center console, and dash insert are all from an eBay vendor.

The gloss black illuminated AC surround & door strips are from an amazon vendor (had to take each door card off and rewire to install but it wasn’t too hard).

The CS style wheel is a wrap i custom ordered and stitched on. The M1 & M2 buttons were ordered by a vendor and i wired those in so they are functional.

I will say i’m pretty proud of how it all came together.

Hopefully the reply above answers all your interior questions. I absolutely love these wheels, and would highly recommend them for this car given it’s body and how it compliments it. I buff, polish, and waxed them prior to install. Definitely not the easiest of wheels to clean…

I actually switched from 400m to these. my 400m’s have nearly brand new pirelli p zero’s on them and i’m looking to well them. i’d also charge very cheap because (i think) all wheels would need curb rash repair & refinishing. if you’re local, come check them out. i’m in LA.

Is that a digital license plate?

i believe they are shared with the F80, yes. it is an OEM M performance big brake kit (brembo F: 370mm & R: 345mm)

realized though that i accidentally put the front calipers upside down. so now i need to switch them around and re-bleed…. 🤦&zwj;♂️

Good to see another So Cal F31! I agree with the looks and performance by switching to the 19”s and Mps tires. I did the same with mine. A world of difference.

Let me know if you’re experiencing some noise once you’ve installed your brakes correctly. I recently got the same brakes as you and hear this Cricket like noise coming from the brakes. They say it’s the rotors causing it because it dimpled and slotted
