Is it just me??? I for one love the idea of the 20's, but hate the Y spoke design they've come up with. I love my BMW's, but I just don't get these wheel design guys???:mad:

OMG..You are the man!! Can you say Sternspeiche 212!! I was sooo hoping they wouldnt get too radical with the wheels...A very pleasant surprise!! :bmw:

According to Babel fish, this means that the 211 and 212 are options on the 4.8 HEA (whatever HEA is!!). With the 213 and and 214 being reserved for the sport package.

Personally I think the 213s suck - a neat trick by BMW to get everyone to pay extra for the 214s - I quite like the 211s.

Welcome to BMW...They've done this for every make/model ever...They were really crafty with the e90's because of the anticipation...

Have you seen them on the E70? I had the style 63 Y-spokes on my E53, and never was a huge fan so I got style 87's in 20". Those new 20"s however, :wow: :2thumbs: :bmw: :boogie: :excited:

I guess it's just me. I hate them, on and off the car!!!

However having just gone back to Sarafil's post with the US Options - it suggests that the 212s are the standard sports package wheels for the 3.0si and the 211s on the 4.8. Looks like it varies country to country.

Can't say that I like any of them. I hope they look better on the vehicle than in the pics.
