513M on my BMW E91 LCI
I was happy to find out about 513 wheels which ticked a lot of boxes for me, firstly they're OEM as sold as part of the M4 winter package, but they're also forged, ferric grey and I think look great on the E91!
At first I thought they were a little small, but with larger tyres, I think they look great and the drive is excellent! Tyre sizes I chose to get the same rolling diameter front and rear are: Front: 225 45 18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports Rear: 255 40 19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports The rears are 10" wide, the fronts are 9" wide. Although not required, I also added some 12mm spacers on the rear just to make them as wide as the fronts. |

I really really wish we got 335 wagons over here (+ M-sport makes it a winner). IF that is 6spd and rwd could you please just save yourself the trouble and ship it over here now.
Regardless those wheels really do suit E90s really well. |

Unfortunately the diesel ones are all auto, I met a guy who has converted his to Manual though For me, I love auto, but I do wish it had the new more modern style 7 speed auto gearbox from the later models. If you want one shipping over, feel free to find one and I'll help, I've sent plenty of classic cars via Liverpool, UK docks and one via Southampton to both Canada and the US.

The 513m wheels look great on your E91! I have a set on my E90 335d and I also own a 2011 black E91 so this give me an idea on how they would look on it. I wish we had the E91 335d over here but as usual we miss out on all the cool cars lol. I bought my E91 with the intentions of swapping a 335d drivetrain in to make my own E91 335d

Looks epic, love me some M-sport E91 goodness. Also double check your original post, you mention the rear tires are 19 not 18.

Very nice I also own a black 335d E91 M-Sport, and there was a set of 513M for sale here that was quite tempting, so now I see what I missed out on haha.

Ditto, I don't understand BMW's marketing and better yet how about they just made it optional engine since it already was certified for NA sales.
