Wrong wheels at delivery (Can Spec 35i)

Hornet_Rider · 09-20-2011, 01:21 PM

I was all excited yesterday to go pick up my X3 35i M-Sport Alpine white. When I got there, I noticed something strange with the wheels as I did not recalling them to be like they were on the pictures you guys posted... so I look and then I see the M badge on the wheels so I stop worrying and continue with the demo and leave for the 2h drive back home asap. As I get home and wash the car, I noticed that they are 18 inch wheels instead of 19!!!!!!

So now I just left with those for now and since I bought from Diplomatic Sales, it is quite complicated to get that sorted but I was reassured by the rep at BMW Canada that they would send me the proper wheels...

It is just too bad that they put the 18 inch 368M instead of the 19 inch 369M... But love the ride for now!

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like they'll put it right though which is good

Note to other people picking up M sport 19s: take some measuring tape!

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the 368M are a 15 spoke symmetrical and the 369M are a 10 spoke asymmetrical aren't they?

No need to take a measuring tape, just take off your shoes and count.

You're not wrong, Doc.

368M (18"):

369M (19"):
