G87 M2 930M wheels are cast, not forged
Not sure if breaking news or not, but
had my suspicions confirmed that the 930M is a cast alloy wheel, unlike any other G8x M3/M4 item currently on offer with the exception of 19" 829M (winter set). Link to M3/M4 weights.

Lame.
Now we know why they weren't labeled 825M. Not because of something like different offsets. Last edited by M3WC; 11-09-2022 at 12:12 PM.. |

Definitely a step back from the F87, which partly explains the high weight, but at the same time leaves a lot of room for weight reduction.

Look at the link in the OP, the 829m wheels in 19in are cast wheels. 33.1lbs for a 19x9.5 et20, imagine a 20x10.5 et20 cast wheel.
Had BMW made the 824m 18/19 standard on M2 like the M3/M4. That would have saved considerable amount of weight, 30-40lbs of unsprung weight. Now the miniscule weight difference between a G82 is making sense. Standard 48lbs sunroof, cast wheels adding another 30-40lbs. Last edited by M3WC; 11-09-2022 at 12:23 PM.. |

I am really tempted by getting the 824M fronts as my winter set and once the OEM 19/20 tires wear out just put new summers on the 824M wheels too. Saves as much weight as the carbon roof and provides tall sidewalls for year-round driving here in Colorado...

Guys this M2 is turning out to be crap of a car. Please take your name out of the list, so we can move up the list lol. Seriously though BMW is really cheeping out if this is true.

Side note, a set of 826M wheels will cost you around $3500 from your parts store. I see GetBMWParts has them cheaper. |

G82 manual - 3830 G87 manual - 3814 Only 16lbs difference. Now take into account the standard carbon roof on M4 and forged 18/19 wheels. Honestly think it could add up to over 100lbs on US spec cars, G87 vs G82. In theory, G87 is a low 3700lbs car with carbon roof and 824M 18/19 forged wheel/tire setup. |

That is pretty lame of them to do, but makes sense given the new designation.

Na, the f87 was heavy, too. But at least BMW gave us the 437M forged wheels instead of creating a cast copy with different coloring.

makes you wonder what other cost cutting /corner cutting measures were made
what about the build quality of the vehicle? it's already being built in mexico, was that not a big enough cost cut already?
