Hi there
New to z4 ownership
I have a 58 plate (2009) e85 2.0i sport edition.
Couple of questions where do I find the paint code and do these E89 wheels fit straight on? BMW 6 785 248 these are 17’s currently 108 style 18’s
Thanks in advance
Steve

Hi and welcome Steve, Nice to have another rare black E85 on here. ;) I don't think E89 wheels are a straightforward swap to the E85. I asked that question myself, the offset is different.

If the wheels are 17 inch square set up the offset will be 29. I have it in mind the the e85 is 47?? Not sure though I'm sure an e85 owner will fess up. You may struggle with the fronts.

I tried that 17 inch "square wheel" set up but didn't like the ride.
