Not everything in the UK’s Daily Star newspaper is rubbish. 🤗

Configurator is officially live on the US website with the manual option!

You all are right re the cerium grey wheels - not much bronze in there at all in real life photos and they do look good.
But, now I'm kinda digging the M V-spoke 772M wheels with the silver rim. I also like the 18" option for a bit softer ride and maybe more tire selection? I'd likely be swapping the OEM tires for A/S's since I live in the Great Lakes area and would be frequently driving in 30-40 F temps. I'll have to play around with the configurator a bit. |

I'm extremely happy with how the 18s look and feel, however they're not available if you option the manual (and there's really no good reason for it either).

I would go with the staggered setup and then buy a set of winter or A/S on 18’s. That way you can go with the spirit of the handschalter. I do think the staggered will be better with the manual if you drive in a spirited fashion!

It shouldn't make any difference. I think the take rate for 18" wheels on the M40i has been pretty low historically and they figured that manual buyers are hard core and probably even more unlikely to order the 18" wheels. So they decided to not offer them.

Yeah, almost the exact same due to the increased sidewall aspect ratio.
The new 20 inch option in the rears is also the same diameter, though every so slightly wider being a 285 instead of a 275 tire. Offering them would be essentially "no cost" to them though. Even if you "lose $600 in value" by choosing that option, some of us genuinely prefer smaller wheels. |

For the US, both green colors are only available with a manual for now. Who knows, maybe BMW will make them available on the auto for the US next model year (2026).

Did anyone make out to the BMW CCA event in FL this weekend? Bmw brought their Z40i in frozen green with manual.
This is the concourse at Amelia Island Ritz, Carlton. |
