Is it possible to get 763M wheels when ordering through a dealer? It's not in the options but do dealers do such a thing at the time of order and will it cost extra?

BMW M2 is based on CLAR, isn't it? 763m wheels were offered on the M2.

Thank you. What do the numbers you mentioned in the other thread refer to (5x120mm)? What specification must one check when buying wheels for CLAR models?

[EDIT] Found it here.

I'm not sure how accurate the Wiki page is. ShopBMWUSA says the 2020 8 series, for example, is compatible with 763M wheels.

There are new M Performance 963M Wheels for the G8x.

I want to spec them on my build, but my dealer said they have to be ordered separately.

Wikipedia is a great resource to start with. You can iterate using Google searches if you want to increase your trust level. I am 100% sure that the G1x 8 Series is built on the CLAR architecture, just like its G1x 7 Series sibling that was the debut vehicle for the new platform. Please do verify that independently until you feel comfortable with it.

I admittedly can’t explain that. My strong hunch is that it’s an error since those are very common on BMW websites, especially in North America. However, it’s at least remotely possible there is some newer part that would allow for this. I’ve not seen any news of that, but it’s conceivable that it was missed. You could check with a BMW parts specialist about it, but if you do, make sure you press them for details about part numbers (which must necessarily differ from those for F8x the M2/M3/M4).
