    Had a reply on the Z4 forum, with some useful info. Thought I'd share it here as well.

    A recent run in with a BMW dealer allows me to make a useful how to: Replica CSL's have all the correct codes on the front, even the BMW part number. But they're missing "BMW" embossed between the M logo and the centre: On the back of genuine CSL's you will find the BBS logo: The centre...

      The one above look very convincing, I have to admit. BBS on the back? That thread on the Z4 is very good also, your man knows his RIMS! ;-)

      Maybe we should copy and paste it on here, :thumbs: :whistle:

        Any thoughts?
        On the front of the wheel round the hub you can see 5 sets of letters/numbers. Reps only have 4 sets of letters/numbers. Plus the BBS thing mentioned above. Whe I sold a set i listed the part numbers

        EDIT:

        Here are the numbers from the wheels

        Front Wheels: 2282 999 and 91/2J x 19

        Rear Wheels: 2282 650 and 81/2J x 19

            Thanks for the post. Looking for a new set myself. Suppose you can't go wrong by ordering them through the dealer?

              Full set or originals cost approx 1750 incl VAT from main dealer minus whatever discount you can negotiate.

                I appreciate that. I zoomed in and those part numbers match those on the wheels as well.
