    looking at an E90...are these factory wheels?

    I'm headed over to check out an E90 wagon with my wife on the weekend.

    I'm kind of excited over it, 328IX AWD automatic as a DD.

    however, I can't help but think these wheels are not factory let alone the right size.

    can someone confirm? the look undersized

    They look like Beyeren (spl?) Mesh wheels

    Definitely not OEM.

      Beware- it looks like the wheels may be staggered. If that's the case, you need to ensure that the rolling diameter is the same front and rear (if not staggered then just check to make sure that it is the same size tire front and back).

      I have seen more that one xdrive owner throw staggered wheels on, not knowing that they could be seriously damaging the x drive system.

      My father runs a staggered set up with the proper size tires and has had no issues.

      Also, e90 wagons are called e91s.

      Good luck!
