Here you go. The seller is well known on the forum and seems honest and trustworthy.Blurredman wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 5:06 pmDunno if the 437Ms suit the E89 tbf.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Bang on what I paid for the set pictured Pondy, rear tyres were about 4-5mm so that’s a very good deal imho.Pondrew wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 5:22 pmHere you go.

Tips on new wheels and tyres, and avoiding divorce
Yeah it sounds a lot at first, but by the time you've bought a knackered set of alloys from the 'Bay for £300. Paid to get them or have them delivered, refurbed them @ around £85 each (inc VAT), then bought tyres, then probably centre caps, then little badges, soon adds up to that kind of money and more.
437s are really popular so seem to attract decent money.

Another question - is the TPMS direct or indirect on the E89? Is there a sensor on the valve itself?

Both! Which helps. If you have metal valve stems and a hex head on it, it has electronic sensors inside the wheels. If they just have rubbery valves then no sensors. As a general rule if the car has i-Drive it will have wheel sensors.Blurredman wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 7:00 pm Another question - is the TPMS direct or indirect on the E89?

Just to say if you are interested in the wheels on Bimmerpost, be quick as he sells wheels in a few days generally. I can message him for a phone number if it helps.Blurredman wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 6:51 pmYou're right, they really do!john-e89 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 5:19 pmOh they do, they really do..!

Mocked up this, trying to make my mind up if it works. The wheels are gunmetal / polished finish. Opinions?

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

Difficult to tell, I would imagine, unless he actually buys them and fits them!

No actually, unless you run a 5mm spacer to bring them out very very flush with the arch as it looks too good not too….then you get a tiny bit of scrub under hard compression….but I’ve no idea how I know….
