Same to you! And Congrats! I love the 640 in Carbon Black! I bought mine used and didn’t really notice the ‘blue’ until I was taking final delivery. I was like: “Hey! Is that thing blue?” Salesman summoned more pride than a fresh father and said: “She’s Carbon Black, sir. Used to be you could only get that on the M cars.” I get lots of compliments on the color. Happy Motoring!

I have a question. Are your wheels 19s? If so, what size tires are they? My wheels are 19s and the tires are 245/45 R19s but when I do a search for the correct tires to replace the run flats the results are all 245/40s.

The wheels in Gavin's photo are in fact Style 351's, available in 19" only. Available in 245/40 19 Square set up or 275/35 19 staggered (rear). Frupals are 20's (chrome rims).

Check inside the drivers door frame for OEM tires specs.

My wheels are 20’. I think they are called the 371.

Frupal's 20" wheels (w/o chrome) were the optional wheels that cost about $1,400 extra. Mine came with the 20s, but I had the dealer swap for 19s from another car because I thought the 20s rode too harsh. They had run flats, but I think I would prefer the 19s even with regular tires. Plus I actually prefer the design of the 19s.

If you have your owners manual...it lists the recommended tire sizes from BMW for the various wheel sizes that were offered. You'll find this info where the tire pressure recommendations are listed.

If you're 19" tire sizes are different...perhaps an OP (or seller) changed the tire size when replacing or wanted a different "ride" characteristic.

Huh! So, evidently the previous owner replaced his old run flats with new goodyear eagle ls-2 run flats of a different size. What a strange thing to do. Welp, good to know as these bricks are getting replaced and I'm glad I know now the correct size. Maybe they did it to fill the wheel wells up a little better? I've driven by a few radar stations and the speedo seems spot on, so it's not making too much of a difference. Thanks guys.
