Not so obviously intended for a collector - it looks like it still has the cast front weel that was subject to a warranty recall due to collapsing spokes. Those wheels must be really rare these days :-)) -- ts on leave at 60�N // to send e-mail, remove vehicle

AFAIK, the replacement wheels had clearly visible extra webbing on the central parts of the straight spokes, which this wheel not has. Also, most later wheels had eight instead of 10 spokes. Not long ago I got the impression the wheel replacement scheme still was in force, but I am not sure any longer since this RT seems to be sold by a BMW dealer (lots of BM merchandise in background of photos). -- ts on leave at 60�N // to send e-mail, remove vehicle |
