Has BMW stated the reason? That is the best looking wheel factory. The 809's are blah.

Have a week 10 build and I am just, nothing.

I don't think they have (at least I don't remember reading a reason on here). They went around the same time as B&O. I'm just glad we have all the features which have been removed from non M.

818 still available for X6M, which makes no sense.

Is it possible to ask a dealership to fit 818M when the car arrives and trade the 809M in?

I'm close to ordering one myself and trading my F80. Tristate area roads aren't kind to my car at all.

I guess anything is possible but highly unlikely. For one the dealership would either have to swap a set from another vehicle this case an X6M Comp or an older 2020/2021 X5M Comp which could be used or order a set from parts on their dime and then dismount and mount the tires.

Possible but unlikely.

Yeah don't know why they got rid of 818 for the X5M and you can't find them anywhere, either (like Ebay).

I'm assuming they just decided to make it a X6 thing from now on. I ended up blacking out my 809s. I think the 809 is actually nice if the car is lowered but the normal wheel gap on these cars makes the silver wheels in the front look smaller.

Blacked out 809s are nice
