Just incase anyone is interested, I've got a set of OEM winter wheels and an F11 Boot liner up for sale on eBay.

Craig, I've just bought a 2014 F11 M Sport 530D - would the wheels fit mine (I'm pretty sure they will!)

I'm guessing they don't have the tyre monitoring sensors fitted?

And finally, how did you find the tyres? The common ones seem to be the Dunlop?

Hi, I'm not entirely sure about fitment as it's down to brake disc size. I've just done a search on the BMW auc site and there are 530d's on there with the same wheels so assuming all have the same discs then they will fit. These wheels do not have the pressure sensors although presumably they could be retrofitted.

Tyre wise, I had Continental TS830 on my E91 and I don't think the Michelin's are quite as good in the snow. Having said that, my F11 was a fair bit heavier so it's difficult to make a direct comparison. On your average UK winter day the Michelin's are slightly better, they have a better feel to them on fast A roads and motorways.

Where do you live? I've just changed the eBay auction to £350, buy now.

I'm in the midlands - which is the only real snag as to pick them up is not going to be the cheapest option. Though, how far from Teesside are you? I'm up there in the middle of March

I've also got run flats on mine - so no spare - I'm guessing these aren't run flats? Though that is not the end of the world.

[CraigUK]

I'm about half an hour from Teesside and yes they're non run flats. I just used to have a can of tyre gunk and a compressor in the boot just incase.

My main issue with postage is packing rather than the cost of shipping. It's not that easy to pack four wheels in a way that they can't get damaged.

[anglefire]

Ok thanks - I'll have a check and make sure they will fit. - I'm currently trying to sell a set of wheels from my previous car and its not easy!

[CraigUK]

If you're interested in them I can send some higher Res photos through. Also no issues with collection during march although away in Spain for a few days earlier on in the month.

Hi Craig, that would be good. If I can PM I'll drop my email address over.

Just trying to see what TPMS sensors I need - seems mine is on the changeover of specs but can't work out which I need - or even if it actually matters as it will be a set of 4!

TPMS will be needed, check your chassis number at your dealers they will advise which valves you need.

I have got a quote from my local dealers for the sensors (353.18 + fitting )- but he hasn't provided the spec!

You can get new tmps sensors on eBay for a fraction of the price, no idea though if it's just plug and play or if coding is needed. Main dealer price is crazy!

NO Coding required the car sets itself up.
I got mine from the States for my M5, you just need the chassis number.
