NOT REINVENTED,<br />
BUT FURTHER<br />
DEVELOPED.<br />
The sporty BMW M Performance Parts wheels shape the character<br />
of the vehicle. The reduction of the unsprung mass also improves<br />
the dynamic response behaviour. Thanks to modern manufacturing<br />
processes, an M Performance Parts wheel is up to 2 kg lighter than a<br />
conventionally produced wheel.<br />
In the flow-forming process, a higher density is achieved by rolling<br />
the aluminium in the rim bed. This treatment makes the rim bed<br />
more stable, thinner and lighter at the same time.<br />
In forging technology, special alloys are compressed at pressures of<br />
up to 7000 tons. This allows filigree shapes to be created that are not<br />
possible with conventional processes. Forged wheels are therefore<br />
standard in high-end motorsport.<br />
For all M Performance Parts wheels, the spokes have a reverse twist.<br />
This removes excess material and saves weight. Careful deburring<br />
gives the wheels their flawless surface. During further processing,<br />
gloss-lathing, gloss-milling and special coatings enhance the<br />
appearance. The M Performance Parts branding – as print or 3D<br />
milling – completes the sporty look.<br />
Perfect contact with the road is ensured by Original BMW complete<br />
wheels with star-marked tyres and TPMS sensors and, depending<br />
on the model, also with run-flat tyres. They were developed in<br />
cooperation with BMW and adapted to the driving characteristics of<br />
the corresponding BMW models.<br />
FOR SPECIAL<br />
APPLICATIONS:<br />
The General Grabber<br />
AT3 for the BMW X5,<br />
developed for off-road<br />
use, can be driven<br />
as a regular winter tyre.<br />
For the sporty: the Cup<br />
tyre with MOT approval<br />
and higher coefficients<br />
of friction. Its lower<br />
proportion of negative<br />
tread increases grip<br />
and thus performance.<br />

From forging the blank to flow-forming the rim bed, milling, high-gloss<br />
polishing and multicoat painting with a matt finish, approx. 22 working hours<br />
are required for the 763 M forged wheel.<br />
