Paging G87 M2 owners in the Bay area! We're looking for volunteers for photoshoots and test fits! Volunteers will get copies of the photos, a discount on a set of future APEX wheels, and APEX goodies/swag. The shoots will be located in or around the bay area near our Pleasanton office. If you're interested in volunteering, please fill out and submit our online form (no robots allowed!).

If you don't yet have your M2, but are local to us and would like to volunteer for a testfit in the future, please fill out and submit the form. You can substitute in a stock M2 photo or other image in the images of your car required field.

We're looking to validate fitments and gather brake/wheelwell scan data. We have a long history of support and developing fitments for the F87 M2 and are excited to continue that tradition as we move into the G chassis. If you have other models of BMWs or other cars that we might support, feel free to use the form as well. All are welcome!

Here's an idea of what a typical test fitment and brake scan looks like:

If you'd like to take an inside look at what the photoshoots involve, check out this behind the scenes look at a shoot focused on an E46 endurance race car we shot earlier this year:

We're excited to validate existing fitments and launch all-new designs but we need your help. Let us know if you have any questions as well!

I 100% plan on getting gold or bronze apex wheels for my M2 but in not in the Bay area 😭

sl0m0 · 03-09-2023, 04:07 PM

Apex are in my top 5 prospects, this is a sweet opportunity.

FryCookOnVenus · 03-09-2023, 04:37 PM

Do you need your models to do full frontal, because I do full frontal. In fact, for a set of wheel locks, I'll hang brain. Nuts for nuts, right?

(Sorry, I'm getting restless waiting for my allocation. Good luck with your shoot.)

Isn't one of those a reference from the movie Waiting?

It might be, but I've never seen the movie.

Someone's going for that extra deep discount.

We keep our shoots pretty boring but we occasionally capture moments of lust:

Hello Tom Expert@ApexRaceParts
I just completed my online form. M2 should be here in two weeks. I'm also local here in the bay area. Dealer will install MPHAS soon as it hits dealership. Email or pm me if you have any questions.
Thank you.

M2PDX · 03-19-2023, 07:36 PM

Will definitely add my name. Probably going with VS5-RS. #3 on my (Oregon) dealer's list. Summer delivery hopefully.

Silly Pic won't flip!

Thanks! I see the submission and will get it added to our list shortly.

A quick reminder for everyone that we're currently only able to take volunteers that can stop by our office in California. I'm not sure if you're based in Oregon or just buying the car there.

Also, did you order with Kuni or BMW Portland? I used to work at BMW Portland so just some mild curiosity on my part.

Expert@ApexWheels · 05-02-2023, 05:40 PM

Bumping this request!

We have a few volunteers that have already reached out (Thank You!) but no one with their car in hand or ready to shoot. Please submit a response to this form if you have a G87 M2 and can bring it by our office to help confirm fitment!!!

-Tom and the APEX team.

Ravenseal · 05-02-2023, 06:33 PM

Someone please volunteer. I want those VS-5RS in Motorsport Gold.

Same, I really want to see Motorsport Gold and Satin Bronze mocked up on ZB!

BrooklynG87 · 05-16-2023, 08:40 PM

Me too! Gold wheels on Brooklyn Grey!

babym_gen · 05-16-2023, 09:50 PM

Expert@ApexRaceParts Can you please try to fit a 325/30R19 tire on the G87 rear with one of your 11.5" wheels? If that doesn't fit, maybe a 315? That's the setup I would like to purchase from you guys!

At this point I would drive to CA to do a fitting. But alas, I still don't have an allocation, despite being #1 at my dealer. Please, I need to know if gold or bronze is the best match on Toronto Red! I'm leaning towards bronze.

Expert@ApexWheels · 05-19-2023, 03:07 PM

We do still need to source a local volunteer if anyone has their car and is willing to stop by. We had one all lined up but unfortunately his car was damaged while parked...

Give us a shout if you can stop by!

-Tom

that's a big tire! We don't have any 11.5s in our G8X fitments so I don't think we'd be able to test it immediately, but we have some wide fitments in the works that will be included in the test.

Went on a hunt through our photos, these are what I could find.
