Can a 235i owner confirm? If so, that's disappointing.

Ref: http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...fications.aspx There, you should see: Tires and wheels Tire dimensions – standard225/40 Wheel dimensions – standard18x7.5 From inspection in the showroom, I can confirm the 225/40 part (I didn't get to the wheel markings on the inside of the wheels).

Perhaps this will be the E46 M3 reborn and on steroids.

Don't be surprised if they do. The 1M did run E9x ZCP wheels afterall. I know that was a low volume car, but I wouldn't be surprised if they ran these 18s. Which is fine by me because I think they look terrific on the mules. Looks better on the M2 than the M3/4 actually

I first looked in the showroom, and I was surprised to see what I thought were 225 all around (don't know about the wheels), although I admit the reading the rubber stamping is difficult at best. Are you positive? I'm going to have to go by the showroom and have another look at the M235i there...

I would consider a revised/totally reworked N54. I'm not buying an N55.

I apologize for being so petty but if the engine doesn't get an "S" code, I don't want the M car. The 1M is the ONLY exception to that hard and fast rule. Let's see if they can catch lightning in a bottle twice. I will wait and see. The car looks to be great regardless of engine so I will wait for some comparos/reviews.

Meh. I should have remembered that. That was the case for the 135i when I got mine as well. Thanks for the explanation - the non-DCT automatic on the showroom car should have been a clue as well.

Ahh, square setup for all-season and staggered setup for the PSS. Good.
Thanks for the clarification.
