What's up with style 230 wheels availability???

princefemi · 11-01-2007, 08:37 PM

Does anyone know or have any information about when the style 230 wheels will be available for order on a 2008 E92 coupe? Last week I put a down a deposit on a jet black coupe, changed my mind and went to the dealership to upgrade my wheels to the 19" style 230s and was told by the salesman that they are a delayed availability item and that he must wait till they are available before he can order my car. He couldn't give me a time frame of when he thought they might be available and has asked me to exercise patience if I must have the style 230 wheels. I really like these wheels more than any aftermarket 19" wheels I have seen on this forum. Not to say that the aftermarket wheels are not nice, I simply like keeping things stock. Does anyone have any info on these wheels or should I just take a chill pill?

They don't sell them here in the US last I checked. No soup for us. Personally I think they look a little odd though so no biggy.

I think they look absolutely amazing. Had they been an option last yar, i'd have gone that way.

They can be purchased from Circle, but going that route gets very expensive.

See email below from BMW NA. Bottom line, not until early next year

. I ended up delaying my order cuz i love the rim and am not paying 5K extra to the dealership.

I have reviewed this information with our corporate product advisor who informed me that the 19 inch wheels for the 2008 335i has been delayed until at least early 2008.
You could order the rims and tires at the dealership at your cost, however, you will still have the wheels that were originally on the car as extras.
This is all the information I have at this time. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
