Smacked a curb? More like drifted into a curb, wonder if this employee is still employed? Was it a salesman? Technician? Lot boy? Curious

However, at 19.2 lbs. I’ll take my chances with my forged 19x9.5’s.

Absolutely beautiful!

I mean this really almost always happens under the same circumstance - car is left in auto probably in sport + w MDM off... throttle gets slammed and the car rear end breaks out... apparently no one knows how to modulate throttle / gears in a rwd car... kind of shocking for a bmw manager tbh.

Let me guess, after that, he was known as a, “drifter?”

regardless of the failure mode bent forged
or broke cast hitting a parking lot curb is gonna hurt. maybe a cast wheel breaking saved the suspension arms etc ??

I'd be shocked if the suspension isn't fried.

Mental note: Buy a set of forged wheels before you drive off!

NSX2M4 · 05-15-2023, 05:17 PM

Proof that weight increases do not apply to modern vehicles.

Hyundais N range even have forged wheels. It is a move on base M cars to help the CS CSL cars save weight and Performace.

Hope the dumbass sales manager is forced to buy this car at a big loss & this gets reported to CarFax. Once he decides to dump this car on some unsuspecting person who can actually drive it should be known it's been tainted with. If someone can post the VIN# here I'm sure one of us could quickly get this noted on the title.

People like this gives us decent sales folk a really bad name & image.

Alternatively, the wheel remaining intact albeit on bent/damaged suspension may save you from hitting something more serious like a tree/pole or leaving the road down a cliff!
I can't believe anyone would think a wheel breaking apart might be a better situation that it staying in 1 piece

Just curious...what do you think would have happened with forged wheels?

FrozenGT · 05-16-2023, 07:59 AM

Ouch makes me wonder where these wheels are probably made it’s pathetic that this car is over $60,000 and does it come with forged wheels… Bmw is being very cheap. I feel like they are cutting corners to save money, just like with the stupid screens sitting on top of the dashboard.
