Its been confirmed that BMW switched to 14x1.25 hardware on these vehicles. ( a "new" bolt, not just for BMW)

We need to re-fit one as soon as possible. We wish to confirm if any else changed on this application.

We're in South Bend Indiana - If you can bring us the car I will make it worth your time on a set of wheels. Please let me know.

Alex

Dang

MIB was a Week 45 build in 2005 as a 2006 model. Besides MIB is a MC not a MCS.

Elkhart is not that far away from the warehouse in South Bend.

My 2006 MCS JCW was built 6/06 & it had the 12mm x 1.5mm wheel bolts- I know because I just converted to studs & lug nuts...

Bolts

ALEX
The bolts have changed. My 06 GP has the new 14 mm lugs. I need a set of longer lug bolts for spacers and a stud kit. According to local dealer 05/06 and up production. Bolt pattern is same. 12mm lugs fall right in. Let me know I could drive in from Buffalo on a Sat.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN GET BOLTS AND STUDS.
