Another AW F11 from Norway

m-white · 03-04-2012, 04:25 AM

A thread about mine 2012 AW F11 M-sport.
Pick it up at the store in januar.
Because of the taxes in Norway, it is just a 520d.
Very pleased with the car.

No RFT is going near my car.
So i replaced the 18" RFT sommerwheels with winthertires.

For the summerseason i have just received 9 x 19" style 408M rims.
These are originaly made for winthertires for the F10 M5.
I have ordered just 4x the front rims with ET32mm., because the offset of rear rims on the M5 is ET25mm. I think that will be to agressive.
I have ordered conti sportcontact 5 tires that will arrive in a couple of weeks.

The idea of having the 408M rims, i got from this forum after seeing pictures of a members M5 with these on.

Here are some pictures from the day i picked up my car + up in the Norwegian mountans with 3-4 meter (10-14 feet) of snow with skiguard on the roof and a picture of the alcantara interior.

The 3rd photo is taken in Røldal. It`s 2 hours drive from where i live in Haugesund.
I`m also looking forward to see the 408M on the car.
Waiting for tires....will post some photos when they are on the car.

m-white · 03-15-2012, 09:28 AM

Finaly got tires, so here are some pictures...
Tires are 255/40-19" on Style 408M 9x19" rims ET32mm.
Car has standard M-suspension, no EDC.

bimmer man · 03-15-2012, 09:42 AM

These wheels fit the car. good choice.

LiveLarger · 03-15-2012, 10:11 AM

Looks great! You are now on summer tires?

remmib · 03-15-2012, 10:45 AM

Looks awesome, really sets the car apart from all the other ones with 19" 351M wheels. And I saw another AW F11 today btw.

So you got the tires today? I think the 255 turned out very nice on those wheels.
How do like 'em so far?

You think you could have fitted ET25 in the rear?

positiveions · 03-15-2012, 01:16 PM

looks so good with those wheels.

Skitsnygg!

Very nice with those wheels!

datbimmerdoe · 03-15-2012, 05:25 PM

hmm... looks good w/ 408m, but not as great as i initially envisioned they would.

RT8_M3 · 03-15-2012, 11:38 PM

By far the best 5 series wagon to date!

Have not used the car after i received tires, so i can`t tell yet how they are.
When it comes to ET25 in the rear, i have to say maybe. I`m not sure because of the height of the car, i cant tell. But i have 5mm spacer i could try to put on.

delvek · 03-16-2012, 01:14 PM

Congrats, nice look. Rims look perfect on it, good choice.

Yes i know about the other AW F11 here in Hgsd. and the licenseplate is only 1 number higher than mine.(Got licenseplate the same day)

So there has already been some confusion.

Our 16 year old daughter came home and asked my wife were i was...
She had seen our car she said, and wondered what woman she saw in the passenger side.

I have now tried with 5mm spacer in the rear, so that should be ET27.
I think it would have worked out fine, but it is really close.
So i think ET25 in the rear will be ok, but i wouldn`t use more than 245 tires then.

remmib · 03-21-2012, 07:57 AM

No, I saw a third one, it wasn't the one with the +1 plate number, it had SD 592xx or 593xx.
