Have a genuine M Tech 2, S770 white on lotus white, 1992 convertible I'm in the process of restoring and a little confused on what wheels it should have. It came with 14x6 gold basketweaves which I was going to have refinished in white, which I thought was OEM. However, recently read that my car should have 7Jx15 E24 basketweaves. I only see these wheels available in silver from BMW, unless I'm reading realoem incorrectly. Any definitive direction on what wheels an S770 car should have, and in what color? As always, thanks in advance.

It should have 14x6.5" white centered basketweaves since it's an S770 M tech appearance package car. These only came "triple white" and "triple black"...paint, interior and wheels. The S771 M tech lux package cars (red, silver, blue) are the ones that came with the 15x7 euroweaves."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Furthermore, I believe the color coordinated wheels had a machined lip opposed to silver.

reelizmpro- Like most car guys (and gals), I have a bucket list of cars to own in my life with an ever changing top candidate. That is until I saw a picture like the one above of an alpineweiss 1992 M Tech 2 325i E30 convertible, one look and I said that's it, my dream car. Sure I hope to own a C2 Corvette, Porsche 911 'vert, Meyers Manx Dune buggy, and a restomoded IH Scout 80, but my current restoration project is a labor of love. I hope to have one that looks like that in the near future. Thanks again for your help. Cheers, ThomHartComment
