Beautiful G30!

Jdubya · 04-15-2017, 06:24 PM

The wheels don't do it for me. G30 needs better wheel options.

brad850csi · 04-15-2017, 10:44 PM

I like those wheels, I just don't understand why the rear tyres are so much shorter than the fronts.

245/35/20 = 26.75"

275/30/20 = 26.50"
285/30/20 = 26.73"

285's would be a much more obvious choice. Possibly better for xdrive long term too? Unfortunately all of the rear wheels are only 9" wide which limits you to 275mm.

That's so weird. So the rear circumference is smaller than the front. So more revolutions on rear tyres...?

It's the same with the 19" ones on the standard g30. 275/35 rear and 245/40 front. 280/35 would be exact match...

remmib · 04-16-2017, 07:20 AM

All BMW's with a staggered set up and 245 fronts has 275 rears, (except M cars).

Nivarox · 04-16-2017, 09:00 AM

Super Uber Cool , I'm happy for you

Happy Driving

I have just noticed right after sending this very particular reply and it's that I have logged in 530th post and ordered 530 X Drive but your car is 550

DocWeatherington · 04-17-2017, 09:40 AM

Not a fan of those rims, but again no digital dash? Shame lol, maybe next year

You get to drive it?

It has a the semi- digital dash. Contents in the center are all digital.

I didn't get to drive It since the client advisor had it sold. He told me it felt way faster than the previous gent and the hydraulic rear steering felt really good.

PARTS@STBMW · 04-20-2017, 04:57 PM

Yes, looking so good! Great choice on the wheels.

babaikram · 04-28-2017, 08:23 AM

I love the wheels but quite expensive to retrofit. My 18 wheels are Front: 245/45/R18
Rear:275/40/R18. So more rotations at the back wheels. Does that mean rear tyres usually go first?

JN1 · 05-04-2017, 12:20 PM

Just saw one of these in the showroom at McKenna BMW in LA. Gorgeous cars and definitely tempting.

daveschroeder · 05-04-2017, 04:04 PM

These are the 669M Bi Color accessory wheels. Better than nothing with no 668M until at least July.

BMW BRAD · 05-09-2017, 07:29 PM

Very nice! I hate that my f10 535d M Sport now looks dated...........
Don't get me wrong....... LOVIN' it still!

KELVIN7 · 05-13-2017, 08:50 PM

I saw one at my local dealership, but the MSRP is $92K. Honestly, i'd rather spend $10K more for basic F90 M5.

NOt only that, they tell me specifically how to make sure to match front and rear tyres for xdrive or expect issues in transfer casing as its too sensitive. And they go ahead and stagger the car and also its mismatched circumference to boot. Go figure.
