They have used forged wheels since the E36.
It was only the E9x competition pack wheels that were cast.

I think the 18's weren't forged... Whatever.

What's more important is that the F80 18's are ~4kg lighter than my OEM 18's.

Ah, I never care for 18" wheels as I think it looks like crap. But then you are right, my comment was only towards the 19" wheels (and E36 wheels).

It's interesting because on a regular F30 I'd get at least 19's while I'm leaning towards 18's on the F80. Not sure why, LOL.

The area above rear wheels on the M2 is massive without any bold creases/lines, so the 18 inchers might look too small (the M3 does not have that problem imho).

Why on earth would they not fit if the 437's are standard and 640's seem to be the official winter wheels just like on the M3 according to what we have seen?

Silver would be great, but not happening the first year.
