No, it is Havanna metallic (that is how BMW spells the paint code).

403M is the best looking so far...

Is there any info out there yet that tells what size these rims are? I know some are 17, 18, and 19 but I'm not sure which are what size.

I like the 392s but I'm not sure if they are 17 or 18. I am fairly certain the 401s are 19 inch. In some photos I've seen, the 401s look too big for the car but I'm sure many will disagree.

The 397s are especially nice but again, not sure if they are 18 or 19 inch.

I updated the original thread with the generic wheel sizes (17/18/19) for everyone. I will try to add in more information later today to make it even more helpful!

Hope it helps.

Awesome. Thanks so much. With this update, my two faves are the 397 and the 400m. I have 18 inchers on my current E90 and they seem to be just right.

It would be nice if BMW can publish the offset and weight data.

Updated the thread with more details on the full wheel and tire sizes. No real information about the M sport wheels other than a 18 and 19 option. Will try to get more information about it.

BMW had a 328i sporting the 20 inch Cross Spoke Style 404 wheels at The Rolex 24 at Dayton. We got pictures of the car and the Style 404's it was rocking. Read more here

Maybe this should be stickied. Good reference guide on the F30 rims. Thanks!

Any info on the weight of each style wheel?

Tim: Shouldn't the multi spoke style # 416 be 225mm wide, not 245?

Good catch, I updated the original post. Too bad BMW isn't offering a factory tire wider then 225.

for me, 397 and 400M! Look good an have a litle bit off rubber the when you hit an undesirable hole in the asphalt (the asphalt here's not too good).
that 20's that got out in the M kit are cool, but i'd not like to use them here...

After almost 10,000 miles, a few wheel-based observations:

1. The Luxury line multi-spoke wheels are a lot better looking than I originally thought.

2. The no-line star-spoke wheels are a lot worse looking than I originally thought.

3. The utter lack of brake dust is a godsend.

4. What you don't realize until you drive the car at dusk is that the wheels that come with any line look matte silver in photographs but have a highly-reflective coating that makes them look like glossy polished steel once high-noon dissipates.

I like those wheels.

They would be a pain to clean if you were getting a lot of brake dust.

This is the closest shot I can find that shows the glistening polished rim and facia of the spokes. Really nice touch on the 'line' wheels.

Zero brake dust. Seriously. Zero.

Can't wait to see some great looking Bimmers!
