My brother Tom was pretty happy with his E92 M3 until I went to South Carolina to drive the 2015 M3 and 2015 M4. Once he heard me rave about the F82 M4, he jumped on BMW's website to build his new 2015 M4. He'll soon need snow tires for his new vehicle. Winter / Snow Tire Category As…
The E90 M3 is the 2008-2013 generation of the legendary BMW M3. As a true performance vehicle, it comes equipped with Max Performance Summer tires. These are excellent for the warmer months, but not so good when it comes to cold and snowy weather. If you want to drive your M3 year-round, you will…
…upgraded your vehicle to a new set of wheels, then you may need to upgrade your tires. Let's say you drive a 2008 BMW M3 coupe with 20" Breyton Race CS wheels, you will probably need M3 tires in the following sizes: • Front: 255/30ZR-20 • Back: 275/30ZR-20 As a result, you might like…
1993 BMW 325is, 1996 BMW 328is, 2002 BMW M3, 2006 BMW M5 and finally the 2008 BMW M3 Convertible - yes my brother likes his BMW's. Equipped with 245/35-19 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's on the front and 265/35-19 on the rear, it was time to replace the tires on his latest vehicle. Since the rear tires…
The Competition Package (ZCP) for the BMW M3 includes 19" wheels that are a half-inch wider than the standard options. We commonly recommend 235/35R19 on the front and 255/35R19 on the rear for a typical M3 Winter / Snow Tire & Wheel Package, but those sizes will give a stretched look on…
The late model BMW M3 comes equipped with a sport suspension system optimized for aggressive street driving. For drivers looking for improved track performance and the flexibility to adjust for reasonable street manners, upgrading to a fully adjustable coil-over kit is a great solution. A coil-over…
…guess work out of purchasing Original Equipment replacement rotors. If you own a performance vehicle like the Audi RS4, Porsche 911, Corvette or BMW M3 that came with factory cross-drilled and vented rotors, the Centric Plain 120 Series Rotors will be made to the exact specifications. Plain 120…
It's late in the snow season, but if you need some snow traction for your M3 we have a Winter / Snow Tire & Wheel Package for you. The M3 comes with a staggered wheel and tire set up, but for the winter it's best to downsize. Tire Rack recommends a 235/40-18 tire size on the front and rear for…
Just got back from a great day in South Carolina at the BMW Performance Driving center. I have to say that after getting behind the wheel of the 135i, 335i and amazing M3, I am impressed beyond belief! The driving school featured the (relatively) new Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec, and even the…
For club racers, I have found the TRMotorsport C2 and the Kosei K1 Racing wheels work really well on the E36 M3 cars. They are both very light -- the C2 at 19 lbs. and the K1 at 16.8 lbs. Reducing unsprung weight and getting to the same size wheel and tire on all four corners is a good thing for…

…package. They are a direct fit with no spacer. They will even use the original bolts and can accept a BMW cap. I like this wheel so much, that I used it for three winters on my previous BMW. Though the Sport Edition A7 is the most common 18" winter wheel, there are a few alternatives that…
