I agree.

With 19" wheels on the M2/M2C/M2 CS (437M / 788M / 763M), my rule of thumb is either to remain stock size (245/265 - either for summer or winter tires) or move 1 size up (255/275 - for summer tires) or drop 1 size down (235/255 - for winter tires).

18" wheels is a different story. As known, that wheel size only fits an OG M2 or an M2C featuring stock brakes. An M2C featuring the 2NH M Sport Brakes (stock brakes on an M2 CS) requires 19" wheels because of the brake calipers size.

Winter wheels offered by BMW for the M2 in my country: 640M (18") or 641M (19"):

  • 18” 640M (silver): 235/40R18 95V XL (F) | 255/35R18 94V XL (R) | Michelin Pilot Alpin 4* (€2900)
  • 19” 641M (silver): 235/35R19 91V XL (F) | 235/35R19 91V XL (R) | Michelin Pilot Alpin 4* (€3760)
