Sedona Red /18" 261 Mstyle wheels
Sedona Red - 18" 261M wheels - Black Shadowline
I'm liking these 261M's...a little fussy, a little dematerialized, but they are growing on me. |

You are not helping with my Sedona Red problem!
The wait until 2008 is going to kill me.

Thanks Brookside. Those wheels actually look much better than how I had pictured them in my mind. I actually canceled the M pack on my 135 order and ordered all the other M bits separately to avoid these wheels, but now I will have to reconsider.
Does anyone know the weight difference between these and the standard 18" non M wheels, if there is one? |

Yeah- they look much better in the coupe photo than in the brochure! Max...would your dealer be able to get an answer...on the weight-I'm curious also. Has your dealer told you when you can expect delivery? |

No doubt-264's are the best looking on the car but everyone is going to have them.
261M's are the most special and at premium price (I'm guessing $1000-1500) they'll be the rarest stock choice. 263's are waaaaaay overdone- quasi "pimp my 1-er" kinda thing. Bottomline- if I've got the loot, I'll go 261M's. |

Nope, not the same wheel, tho they look a lot alike. Lug nuts in the center of the narrow spokes on the blue one...here they are placed to the side.
261M's are visually better done, a more balanced design. |

those 261s are growing on me quite a bit though, really, just as sporty but with an extra hint of class/style than the standard 135 5-spokes |

I think this is a color chart from the 1-er hatch in Germany. I forget what the context was when Bryan posted it...long before the German and Brit
dealer sheets on the coupe. Nevertheless you can see LeMans Blue is a medium saturated blue compared to Montego which seems to have a lot of metallic in the mix. |

The blue, which I think is Montego, but whatever it is, looks really good, much better than the e9x with that color, may be an option now. The gf is supposed to be coming to visit in November and we're talking about changing dates so she could do the whole bmw-welt thing with me while she's here. She loves the blue, but that may have a whole lot to do with the fact it would be available while she was actually here.... |

This is a color chart that Bryan @ Mwerks posted- you can see the difference in LeMans/Montego in spite of the low res. Also- awesome pic of LeMans Blue on a 3-er. |

These are the 208M (now the previous 18" M-wheel, cause I cannot find them in the pricelist). |
