OEM 513M from the F8X cars. Arguably my favorite OEM wheels. Weigh under 20lbs and fits bang on without spacers and meaty tires. And best of all, they cost barely more than some random shitty cast wheels that are marketed for this platform. Zero downsides.

Thanks for the info. Did you buy them new from somewhere or used? Also, what are the specs of your wheel/tire setup? I'm loving the look and considering doing something similar!

You can usually find a set for sale in the classifieds here or on the F80 section.

Tires: 245/35/18 and 265/35/18. Fits like a glove and bang-on with the OEM rotating diamante.

Thats a meaty rear tire size! Whats the width of those particular wheels? I'm not sure if you were referencing "OEM rotating diamater" for the 328i or F8X. I'm also assuming they are staggered (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

OEM diameter of the E9X (F8X's is irrelevant).

18x9 ET29 and 18x10 ET40. Perfect fitment for virtually every non-M 3 series going back to the early 90s.

for xDrive owners the staggered set up as noted does not work. Btw, sweet ride too!

stationary? Was gonna brake hard and test the ABS first, then pull the wheels off and check the wheel speed/angle sensor itself

Barrique91 · 03-28-2019, 12:45 PM

To start off with the good- to celebrate my e91's first birthday in my ownership I got her a present, kw v1s.

The bad- to celebrate my e91's first birthday in my ownership we attempted to fix multiple codes by replacing the maf sensor connector. Got ride of all but one- which is most likely the sensor itself.

Will try cleaning the sensor after work today, cleaned both vanos yesterday as well. Also should do some soldering on my lux v3s.

Seattlesquash · 03-28-2019, 12:49 PM

Added a clear bra, full front + rear bumper load protection, with Imperial Works in Kirkland, and really happy with their work. Highly recommend them and should have done this years ago!

Any chance you have 10mm spacers laying around? I am considering these wheels, but want to know how they fit with the rears spaced out 10mm. My 19s currently rub with 10mm spacers in the rear. I am asking because I want to switch to E89 135i rear hubs for my F30 bmw performance brake conversion.

I figured I would ask since not many people are running these wheels. I am also lowered on bmw performance suspension.

NP, I'll test it out when I put the summers back on. It may not be for another few weeks though.

Famous last words

I started with this approx 2.5 years ago, with the same philosophy (it's a daily, leave it stock or don't do too much bla bla bla)

And here we are. But you wouldn't believe the bargain bottom prices I sniped for the mods to get it to this point - except the MTech bumpers, no way around that.

The more I look at your car the more I want go nuts on mine I actually held back 4 years to throw suspension on which is very unusual. Im always on lookout for a red interior but then I tell myself don't do it stop looking.

Received and installed 5" ARM intercooler. Took it on a drive after , no leaks and my car was actually pushing more boost than previously which was odd , but welcomed.
