BMW’s highly anticipated M Performance centerlock wheels are now available for purchase at North American dealerships for the first time.
These wheels were initially introduced in November 2023 for the G8X M lineup, including the M2, M3, and M4. However, BMW initially restricted their availability outside the United States, despite it being the second-largest automotive market after China.
