Confirmation req. - E90 wheels on 2.5 Z4?

I just picked up an 04, black 2.5 w/ 22k miles on it. It's been a great little car! I am looking at 18's, I want to keep the runflats. Can you gurus confirm that current E90,E91,E92 wheels will be a fit for my z4? Will the tire pressure gauge work fine?

I am assuming I am looking for a set with low mileage, and TMPS sensors.

Thanks!

This week I put E92 Sport 197 wheels with the stock Bridgestones on my 2004 2.5i Roadster (non-sport). I got the wheels with tires from a private party who had pulled them off his wife's E92 after 1K miles.

You do not NEED the TPMS equipped wheels for your 2004 but it will not be a problem if the wheels you use have it (might make it easier to sell if they don't work out for you). After install just do a reset of the FTM system on your car. The offsets for the E9x wheels are considered agressive for the Z4. One post in the thread linked to below indicated that Sport Pkg equipped Z4s will have a problem with the E9x wheels. So far I have not been able to find any evidence of rubbing at all with my new setup. Good luck and happy shopping.

Here's are the links...

Thanks a lot guys! I have the non-sport suspension. If you haven't experienced any rubbing than it sounds like that might be the way to go. Looks like I can get some pretty new wheels/tires for around 1k-1.5k.

I will also keep my eye out for z4 take-offs.

Thanks again!
