437M are a no cost option on an M2C. Almost like BMW knew we'd want the lighter, stronger, and more attractive wheel. It has a better profile with concavity as well. Leave the flat face wheels for the regular series cars!

Not offered in the US, though. It's quite possible in the US market that people will equate 788M to Comp.

I would have literally paid $500 extra to get the 437M vs 788M lol.

Better looking, lighter and easier to clean... easier to resell too.

They should have really had the 763M as like a $1200 option... they would have gone like hot cakes... but secretly I think they knew another model was coming ... CS and held back.

Yup. No problem with resale. I sold my M2C with the 437Ms.

If you want to maximize resale you probably shouldn't be driving it at all, so just park it for as long as you plan to own it.

Not sure why that would affect resale. Plenty of 2021 M2Cs come with 437M wheels as stock.

And quite frankly, they look better than the 788Ms in my opinion.

In other parts of the world you are correct, but in the US the M2 OG came with 437 as the only option, and the M2 Competition only had the option of 788m wheels. We could add 763 for something like $6k if we want to count those.

Ultimately I decided to sell both sets and try something stop overthinking it.
