It appears the style 124 wheels are available as a stand-alone option on the 530 in Europe. Does anyone know whether we can order them separately in the US?

I have already placed an order for a 530, but won't see it until 2nd quarter of 2004 due to the nav. It'll have the sport package which comes with the style 123 wheels which are nice, but I like the 124s better.

Any info would be greatly appreciated...

How flexable (on price) did you (or anyone) find the US dealers for pre-orders? I'll be doing that too, but I haven't got my order in yet (still deciding on colors)

I believe it is possible, but I think they will hit you for a decent charge for those wheels on a 530. My dealer said, "We can put any wheels on you like, but if they are different from they package, we charge an arm and a leg for the different wheels." I am going to ask him again though and get a price because I really do like the 124 wheels as well.

Thanks, Aaron. Any feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I'll also let you know what I hear from my dealer.
