winter wheel group buy?

Kid Eh · 09-14-2017, 12:16 PM

Is this going to continue to be an "i'm in" thread or does someone actually have a plan here?

Not sure but I'm interested as well.

Here is the link from last years F8x winter group buy:

Were people that bought last year happy with their purchase?

Looks like they went with the APEX wheel company and there was a 30 order minimum to get the discount rate.

maybe x-post to f80/f82 to get more bites?

SamerTronics · 09-17-2017, 11:27 AM

I'm definitely interested. I just finished reading last years group buy thread and they got 30 participants fairly easy. When would we start taking pledges?

I believe this is the link that Apex uses for their group buys. We can start one here if we get in contact with them.

I just contacted Apex as there's an active group buy for the EC-7 in 18" but no winter tire option. I asked if they can include the winter tires on the active buy or start a new one.

They also already have 30 members. It's probably a long shot but can't hurt to try.

There will be a group buy going live in two weeks for the ec-7 winter set up. I'll post a link if no one else does it first.

Go for the satin black finish, looks killer on BSM

I think most people opt for a square setup.

Im in.. If Apex doesnt work out, How bout getting a discount on BMW's 640m winter pkg... Part Numbers:

M2 Front: 36112448386
M2 Rear: 36112448387

the pkg costs about $2200 from ECS tuning as well as GetBmwParts

Included are the 4 wheels with Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 , balancing, and I believe TPMS sensors although not positive about that. My dealer has the package for about $2500.

With BMW wheels, we dont have to hassle with the wheel centering rings required for most tire rack wheels that are not hubcentric for our application.

lazyd0c · 09-20-2017, 06:08 PM

what's the correct TPMS part # for us?

I believe its either 36106881890 or 36106856209.. one replaced the other.

I forgot what I chose on the apex site; I just picked one as a place holder, but we cant edit our choices from what I can tell, so obviously it will be come more of an issue if this actually becomes a buy, which I hope it does... Best price for the best setup Ive seen yet.

lazyd0c · 09-22-2017, 05:54 PM

21 interested.... need 9 more for this to GO!

boostm3 · 09-27-2017, 08:33 AM

Count is up to 27 now; almost there!

bedensbrook · 09-29-2017, 04:12 AM

30. You're welcome!

If you go to the group buy web site, you can see the all the member size choices. Most are going with the 18x9 ET31 square setup.
