Tips on new wheels and tyres, and avoiding divorce

[john-e89]

Actually I know where there are set of 437Ms for sale. They are forged aswell. They are perfect and with virtually new PS5 tyres. He does want £1400 for them though. Tyres would be nearly a grand, on those, though.

I can post a link the ad if of interest (on another BM forum).

Dunno if the 437Ms suit the E89 tbf. Can you post the link anyway so I can have a shufty? Cheers

Oh they do, they really do..! Crap pics but it’s all I’ve got at the mo.

Here you go. The seller is well known on the forum and seems honest and trustworthy.

Bang on what I paid for the set pictured Pondy, rear tyres were about 4-5mm so that’s a very good deal imho.

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.

You're right, they really do!

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.

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.

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

Agreed, looks great!

Recently swapped out a set of OEM 19s due to a cracked rear. Found some 666M reps which I think look cracking. Tyres still had plenty of life so just swapped over. All in for less than £700.

Blimey. They look great. And a killer bargain. Any rubbing ?

I tried satin black, gloss black and now gunmetal ish on my Apex Arc 8s and 437Ms

Any rubbing ?

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….
