Again, because the GC comes standard with 20" wheels, it seems that a GC owner can even specify the just-released 601M (code 2TX) wheels as a NC standalone option, whereas the M6 Coupe/Convertible people can opt for 601M wheels ONLY in the case of ALSO ordering ZCP.

In fact, it seems that ZCP only costs $6,000 for the GC (i.e. vs $7,300 for the Coupe/Convertible) BECAUSE the GC is the only one of the three M6 iterations to come standard with the 20" wheels.

Am I correctly understanding everything???
It looks like the only wheels available on the M6GC with ZCP option are the 601's or the 343's, which is a shame because I like the standard 433 wheels which happen to be the same size as the 601's. Hope I'm wrong...

Oops, the rears on the 601's are 10.5 vs 10.0 on the 433's. Fronts are the same..

I've just discovered something a bit strange about F06/F10/F12/F13 wheel widths.

In the BMW pricing guide posted in this thread, the 343M wheels are described as being 20x9.0 and 20x10.0 (Part Nos 36112284450 & 36112284451). The 433M standard GC wheels are described as being 20x9.5 and 20x10.0 (Part Nos 36112283402 & 36112283403).

However, when I phoned the parts dept of my local BMW dealer, their system shows the respective front and rear wheel widths of BOTH the 343M AND 433M styles for the F06 GC/F12/F13 applications as being 20x9.5 (ET31) and 20x10.5 (ET19).

I wonder which of these sources contains the correct information?

{As an interesting aside, for the F10 M5 application the front are rear 343M wheels widths are 1/2" narrower @ 20x9.0 (ET34) and 20x10.0 (ET34), with Part Nos 36112283999 & 36112283401, but possibly with a different Part No (36112283400) for the F10 M5 fronts when equipped with M Carbon Ceramic Brakes? (but still 20x9.0 and ET34)}
