At any rate.. Neech said it exactly.. any wheel BMW puts on a car has to have a warranty behind it for 4/50K miles, and be subjected to all sorts of abuse, as well as pass more stringent specifcations than what an aftermarket supplier has to do. So it's really easy to see why going with super light wheel is NOT something a manufacturer is going to lose a lot of sleep over doing. If you feel the stockers aren't light enough, sell them and get an aftermarket wheel. These days, it seems like you can't find an E46 M3, E9x M3. or other cars like the Nissan 370Z with a set of stock wheels on them anyway since so many owners go aftermarket anyway.

Thanks
