Hello, this is my first post as a brand new BMW owner.

I got this car last weekend and it has wheels that are not the standard sport package wheel.

The dealership (not bmw) tried to BS (perhaps i am just not educated) and told me that this car has a "competition" package which is one step above the "sport" package. I told them they are full of **** and that no such thing exists. Regardless, the car has different wheels from what i am used to seeing also the brake calipers are painted red and i doubt this is OEM.

Can anyone tell me if the wheels are OEM BMW? If not does anyone know what brand they are and have any specifications on them?

The tires are pretty badly worn and i still have to pass MD inspection (the car has VA inspection currently) so i may need to get new tires and my goal is to use these wheels for my winter tires and get a second set of 18" wheels for some wide summer only tires.

I appreciate any help/advice.

I realize the calipers are not red in the pictures, and i guess this answers my own question.. The dealer must have painted them trying to make the car look sporty..

bimmerfest.com came back with 328i coup sport package OEM wheels if anyone is wondering..

Cant believe they tried to call this a "competition package" lol. I think the wheels look good though.

i guess you found out the answer yourselves, anyways the wheel on your car is the sport package wheels from 328i coupe, they are referred to as "style 197" and are actually made by BBS
