Was browsing some 8Jx17 ET47 wheels from my local BMW dealer, hoping to find a good deal on a set to track with, eventually mounting them on daily summer tires and getting lighter track wheels next season.
I found this: https://www.leebmann24.de/bmw-alufel...er-e46-z3.html Basically Double Spoke 47 8Jx17 ET 47 for the E36, E46 and Z3 cars (same hub and bolt patterns) for a silly €66 and change per wheel....brand new! After checking, the wheel weight is 10.1 kgs each, that is 1.5kgs lighter than the front 7.5x18 261 and almost 2.5kgs for the 8.5Jx18 rears. May not be super light, but for a brand new factory strong wheel....and the price....think i should pull the trigger and get a set? Trying to keep wheel budget low, to save up for track time/seat time. |

2mm wider offset per axle in the front and 5mm in the rear (261 styles are ET49 front and ET52 rears). Should bolt on without issues right? i know as much as ET 40s can fit all round on 8-9" wheel widths fine. |

Just received by mail from BMWNA a 10 years/156,000 miles "limited warranty extension" for the Footwell Module (FRM). Wondering if anyone else has gotten this yet?

These components deliver signals to the footwell module. Height sensors Reversing light switch Brake light switch Hazard warning flasher switch Light switch Driver's door switch block Door contacts in front doors Driver's door lock Adaptive Headlights. Haven't received any problems yet besides the headlights. so I assume we will run into a few of them eventually. |

I didn't receive it. But I got to use it. I called BMW and they informed me about it. Mine broke and the dealer told me I'm 7 months over my warranty which was 8 years/ 125,000 miles. Called BMWNA for goodwill and they said the warranty is extended; didn't pay $1,600 for the repair.
