New factory wheels for MY2025
So the internal dealer forum thing says:
“BMW is expected to spruce up the wheel designs as well.” Could we possibly be looking at forged? I really hope they don’t blow the wheel design. I also hope they offer a dark gunmetal / Anthracite. Tag any input?

They need proper offsets so you don't need spacers, forged or not. If not, just buy a set of correct offset aftermarket forged wheels.

If bright silver gets added as an option, I sure hope still offer black or dark gray.
Bright silver kinda wrecks my frozen Portimao plans.. Brake dust would be brutal too.

Code: 1WL
Style: 825M 1WL are forged wheels for the G80/2, doubt the M2 will get them. They'll likely take the current cast wheels and apply the same finish. |

I'd absolutely go for those on my Twilight Purple M2.

Yes just a color change. I would expect the same for the M2. Thats all they did for M3/M4 wheel selection of course. Love em. Thats my build. Probably moving forward!

there are a few cars where the OEM wheel design is, IMHO, intrinsic to the design language of the car (eg 20th Anni GTIs (aristos), W210 E55 AMG (monoblocks), pre-2008 WRX Sti (BBS), E39 M5 (style 65s) etc)... i don't think the G87 is/will be one of them.

Kind of a lame wheel update, unless there are other wheel styles coming on the full release. BUT...I have to say black wheels have been over-done on these cars, and I just love those new silver M wheels. Between this, those M sport seats and alcantara steering wheel and torque bump, it all pushed me over the fence to 'upgrade' my 230 M Sport to a 2025 M2.

Yeah, so I hear. I have to say, I love my 230 for the lightweight and very toss-able chassis with my 255 square set up. But, I know that the M2 feels similar and if I ain't tracking it, why do I car if the car weighs 300+ lbs more. It's a great M car says everyone who reviews it.
