Tirerack aftermarket wheel options
Looks like Tirerack has setup their site with wheel fitments for the E90 (they don't have the preview picture with the wheels available yet tho). Is 50 wheel choices enough for ya?

The E46 wheels are not interchangable with those of the E90.

According to the speaker at the San Diego 3 Across America, the E90 comes with a suspension that is tuned for the Run Flat tires with the special run flat wheels.
You can replace them with non-Run Flat wheels and tires, but you may find that the handling is not as good because the run flat tires have a very stiff sidewall. Not sure if the E46 and E90 have the same bolt pattern and offset. Mike

I am not aware of what feature of the E90 factory wheels makes them "run flat wheels," as they do not have pressure sensors. I doubt that the 50 or so Tire Rack wheels have any special run-flat capabilities, either, but don't know why they wouldn't function with run-flat tires. |

Tire pressure monitor
Note that this type of tire pressure monitor measures a tire relative to the other three tires. When it gets very cold outside and the air inside the tires contracts, causing all four to drop by a similar amount, the tire pressure monitor will probably not alert you! I also wonder what the sensitivity threshold is for the monitor--how many pounds of air pressure must a single tire lose before it trips?
If one were willing to live without the "EH2" feature, would any of the E46 wheels physically fit? |

It suggests that it will only warn when tyre pressure reduces by more than 30 per cent. |

Tire Pressure Monintor looks to see if one of the tires is turning faster than the rest. This would tell the system that the tire is losing air. The system would have to take some kind of average over a certain time-span. It would also have to differentiate between driving in a turn where the outside wheels are turning faster or straight ahead.
Please note on Tirerack, there is an area that specifies whether or not the rims are compatible with TPMs. |

E46 will work on E90
Hi Guys:
I just purchased Dunlop M3 DSSC Runflats on Replica Wheels M3 for winter driving. I was told by the guys at tiretrends.com that they will work on the E90. Apparently they have the exact specs as the E46. I also went with 225 45 17 all around even though the Sport comes with 225 40 18 and 255 35 17. |
