i got the 535i. but it also comes with 327 as standard.

Got the 535 as well. I think standard features of the 528 and 535 are the same w the exception of a sunroof.

Thanks, juztinl

that's just me though. haha. i will ask them how much extra for runflats when they call me back.

Asked one of the shops, RFT around $1.5k more per tire and not much choice, probably Pirelli, Bridgestone and that's all

chiver · 08-25-2010, 02:50 AM

Thats expensive! Maybe I'll stick with regular tires!

That's why I also plan to have the regular tires

But I got to get the mobility kit since I had a bad experience that one of my tire blew up into pieces in a tunnel since I have no spare and kit.

Mine comes with 18" 329..... Anybody cares for those? I am moving to 20" and going with normal tyres as well.....

Indeed!!! BMW HK is so mean /stingy to offer the 327 rims as standard for 535i !!!!!

juztinl · 08-25-2010, 10:56 PM

they called me back. prices for rims are $20,400 for 331, $22,400 for 356 and 21,600 for 312. they would take back our stock 17'" for $4000.
tires they quoted me are steep to be honest. $12000 for a set of pirelli 19". didn't even care for the 20" after that. i asked them to quote me the price for bridgestone and dunlop. my friend told me bridgestone RE001 are under $1500 per tire.. and we won't get pass 10k km on pirelli.

What Pirelli did you ask them to quote? Had RE001 before and they were noiser, worse on the wet and wear faster then my P Zero Nero and Rossos before, on both my AMG C55 and E55. So sticking with Pirelli P Zero this time around.

BTW, I am being quoted RE001 245/40R19 @ HKD2350-2400 each on the street (not by the same shop). RE050A 245/40R19 for around HKD3150-3200.

Would appreciate if you let me know where I can find the RE001 below 2K.......

Thanks for the info. juztinl

By any chance, has the shop mentioned about discount for group buy?
I am interested in the 356 which is 20", the previous offer by this shop is $30k+ including Pirelli P zero hero (swapping the stock 17"). I am sure they can do better than what they quoted you.

juztinl · 08-26-2010, 12:45 AM

chill out mlai. =) not trying to make a judgement on your tire choice, we are all just trying to find good deals. i just thought 12k for a set of non run flat piralli is a bit steep.
and i am not looking for max performance tires for this sedan, i am just trying to get one that is reasonable in performance, trendwear and friendlier in price.

agreed with mlai, don't think RE001 19" could be under $2k, possible for smaller size

sorry didn't get a chance to ask about group buy. i just asked the guy to give me more tire options before making a decision. i was a bit tangle up at work this morning.

junztinl, I actually asked around a few tire shops. 19" is +-$2.5k per tire. what they quoted me are Advan, Pirelli, Bridgestone. Any tires 19" or above, you expected them to cost an arm and a leg

I think I may be misunderstood. I am just eager to find a place with better prices for my tyres.......

RC3, what tyre models did you quote? I am interested to know because prices for different models are very different even within the same brand.......

I would appreciate if there are any price info on P Zero Nero/Rosso/Hero for the following sizes:

245/35R20
275/30R20
285/30R20.

I think PS2s are roughly the same prices. However, Continental is currently doing a promote on CSC2 (getting rid of stock?) and is about 25-30% cheaper than either the PS2 and the P Zero Hero......

RC3, actually that price is for swapping the 18"......

juztinl · 08-26-2010, 01:07 AM

=) 312 is growing on me. but not sure about the ride quality on 20". what do u guys think??
btw i think my friend didn't know what tire size i was talking about so yea they should be above 2k.
and is Dunlop Sp Sport any good?
