Tire Rack?
Did anyone else notice Tire Rack no longer lists tires or wheels for the 2014 M235i? And that they ask if it was built before or after 3/2014? What changed on the March builds?
Thanks! |

Same thing for the 228i. Maybe they are just setting up the site to show wheel/tire packages etc. Not sure what the big deal is, the 2 series seems to have the same offsets as the 1 series, so all the 1 series wheels should fit.

From what I've seen (and I have been checking since early March) they have never had 235M info on their web site. I also called them right after I took delivery, and they said they hadn't gotten a 235M in yet to test packages on.
I just hope they have something by this Fall when I'm going to be in the market for a Winter set-up |

Thanks! Missed that when I went back to their site the other day and figured they still hadn't updated it yet. Weird on the build date stuff. My car was built mid-February and the site says on or before 2/2014 or on or after 3/2014? I guess I go with the 2/2014 then, but I also wonder what the difference is. I don't see anything obvious on the web site (the same tires come up).
Update: The difference on build date is the TPMS BMW used. This according to the tech I just talked to at Tire Rack. There was a change made in March. Last edited by golf4501; 05-02-2014 at 11:27 AM.. |

Summary: Week 10+ builds have different TPMS, which throws warning if removed. Two options to fix: 1. buy/install new sensors on aftermarket wheels, or 2. code it out. |

Looks like Tire Rack has updated their site to show wheel and tire packages for 228 and M235. Includes selection for winter packages.
