2014 BMW F30 330d Xdrive - Mineral grey

[Cliff J]

Call me what you like but I just did not bond with the new wheels (763m reps), so I’ve sold them and bought a set of genuine BMW M3 437m wheels in 19x9 ET29 and 19x10 ET40 with Michelin PSS 255/35/19 and 275/35/19.

The tyres are coming off and I’m downsizing them to 235/40/19 and 265/35/19, which also gives under the 1% max rolling radius difference front and rear to protect the Xdrive transfer box.

Some people will still not like them but that’s cool.

Right decision Cliff. The 437Ms are forged too, so light and will work superbly on the new tyres...

The car sits really well on them as it is

Thanks mate. I was coming home from work, kept looking at my car parked on the drive and it just didn’t look right, the wheels had to go.
As soon as I dropped the car on these I felt like the world was a better place again!

I'm obviously biased because I have them on the F82 M4, but I think that they are a lovely looking wheel though. I also didn't realise that they were forged, until Dan mentioned it to me a bit back.

A great move, and I'm really pleased that you're happy with them.

I tried to not do them again after my previous F30, but my 763m wheels were a fail!
These are, IMO, just the best OEM wheels for an F30, F32 etc.

I'm in the minority but I love the 763's, I took my 437's off my M2 as soon as I bought it. Depending where you are in the country I still have the 437's in my garage if you ever wanted to buy some as I sold my M2 during covid.
Going to go back to a BMW touring at some point in the future, selling my old F31 330d is still one of my biggest regrets!

I’ve sold on the 763m wheels now and bought 437m in their place, I just couldn’t live without the concave

The 763's are a lovely looking wheel I agree. I generally like wheels where you can see a lot of the disc/caliper behind the wheel, and the 763's are really good for that I think.

100%, the side view was superb, but looking down the side of the car from the front corner it just looked too flat, I didn’t bond sadly.

763m




437m

WARNING… Purists look away now

New TOYO Proxes Sport 2 tyres fitted in 235/40/19 and 265/35/19 to suit my Xdrive.
The best thing about this car is how clean it looks in photos when it’s actually an absolute state in real life!

Looks absolutely spot on; this is when 437Ms suit the F3x cars, when it's lowered like that

If not lowered enough, they poke too much IMO and that's why I didn't fit them to my F31 - I can't go any lower than I already am

Thanks bud. But in truth I like these wheels with standard height cars too, never seen them on an F30/F31 and thought they didn’t work.

That's a good looking car! Especially with the red interior.

Sits really well too. I dint like black wheels as a rule but they do suit it.

Did you leave the DPF alone in the end?

So far, I haven’t decided about the DPF. My head keeps saying to just remap it, but with the full system, back box delete, res delete, DPF delete, they sound insane!

Each to their own, but not for me. It makes the car look too heavy and lacking nimbleness. It looks like the car is wearing Doc Martens.

That was completely the plan, beef it up, in fact, the Dr Martens comment is a real compliment.

The wheels look so beefy in that three quarter pic.

Love these wheels! It’s a shame I couldn’t keep the 275 rear tyres as they looked immense, but I’m super happy.
