I could have got them for around €1000 from BMW Stockholm.
A set Styling 172 wheels with some Continental (??) tires for €2.155
is not that bad either.
If they would come with the brand new ContiSportContact 3's I would
probably go for them!
This is very good though "Kein RSC-Reifen!" meaning no RF tyers!!!
Shipping costs €44,95 but probably only within Germany.
PS. I sended a quote for a set of 172's with the brand new ContiSportContacts 3's.
I'll keep you updated if a get an offer!

Thanks for the link, i am really intrested in following this one up. 2155 Euro = ?1500.
The only problem is my German is very rusty, i'll give them a call on Monday and see if i can find out how much to ship to the UK. I apologise for most of us in the UK, you europeans are so much more adapt at multi lingual communication. I think because most people at least try to speak english we have become lazy at trying to learn a second language.
If i am struggling, i hope i can rely on some of our german freinds to help?

I'm sure they will understand me, i will post the results for any other UK members intrested in 172's. Maybe if we can get enough serious intrest we can organise a group buy from them and bulk ship them over.
Any body in the UK thats intrested let me know

Why not a joint e60.net order within Europe?
But with the new non RF ContiSportContact 3 tyres!

My Ride: E61 535d sport, Silver Grey/grey/maple.
20" Hartge Nova 7. Previously 19" staggered 172s
Have you noticed that the 135s are more expensive than the 172s?
The difference is probably the tyres but it makes a nonsense of the ?700 plus upgrade price.

I am going to try and set up a group buy for 172's, initially for UK members but if there's enough intrest i'm sure we can do a european one. Not sure about the logistics, but lets see what the intrest is.
I am seriously going to buy a set within the next two weeks, so PM me if you are serious in this time scale and i'll see what i can arrange.
