Just wait until 2010. More information will be available on a later date.

!SG 12-10-2009 05:57 AM

yup, its not that we are being tight lipped about it. its just that we are all curious too, and no one knows all the details! cant wait though! i just assume that with Brian Jessel BMW growing so big, they need room for expansion.


haha, everyone laughs at me cuz im always in the a cheery mood in the morning, especially in shipping. i treat opening all the shipment boxes like christmas! :lol

OH LOOK! SANTA SENT ME ROTORS AND PADS! YAY!!! :lol hahahaha

im 1/2 expecting them to give me a sleeping bag n a pillow and send me on my way if they move me over to autohaus side =P

Can we have a camp day at BJ Autoahaus for a night! With an oxy acetylene camp fire! :lol

SG, keep an eye out for OEM 19" style 230 wheels for the e92's, you might get these rims on a lease return that the dealership might want to unload. A set of these wheels brand new are too expensive and finding a used set is very hard.

!SG 12-11-2009 05:12 AM

ohh, you want a set?

hmm, u got a picture? there are soooooo many styles that i have a hard time keeping track.

we have been moving a lot of sets lately because of the demand for winter tire packages. its actually kinda crazy! That one winter @ advance, we moved sooooo many tires, but this is insane. im talking about parts advisors, and even us in shipping helping move sets upon sets upon sets of tires to help the tech's out. at the same time, im trying to help find room for all of them! the amount of volume being moved is just... wow! on top of stock orders, and stuff.

just the other day, i go put some filters into stock. im like why do we need to stock this many? that was until i got to the location and looked up :O wtf?! where did all the filters go from yesterday?! i swear there was like 20 left! all the parts advisors are running around, its kinda funny because its like a hockey team skating on the floor, the difference is we dont all stand up to sing the national anthem in the morning =P

anyhow, if u show me a picture, ill keep an eye out.

i like the slight twist in the spokes.

that means the whole set, all 4 wheels will be different!

ill keep an eye out for a set.

Hondaracer 12-11-2009 02:38 PM

those are the nicest rims for the E92's imo

!SG 12-11-2009 06:21 PM

they ARE nice, but having directional spokes + directional tires + difference sized n offset tires and wheels means it truely is a true staggered setup. each wheel and its design is meant for each corner of the car.

Harvey Specter 12-13-2009 06:36 PM

Thanks !SG and yes, imo they're one of the hottest OEM wheels for the e92.

sonick 12-14-2009 09:40 AM

Not sure if it's appropriate, apologize if it's not. I am looking for a specific part for my E30 BMW, if anybody who works at a dealership could help me out to look for it that would be great.

PM me, I want to avoid cluttering up the thread, thanks!

!SG 12-14-2009 11:29 AM

call the dealership, ask for any of the parts guys, tell them shoei told you to call them at brian jessel. Unfortunately, i cant help you just yet as im not fully trained with all the computer programs. maybe in a month or 2 i could be able to help you.

just on my lunch break right now.

bcrdukes 12-18-2009 09:28 AM

Who is the guy with the British/Austrialian accent in parts?

!SG 12-18-2009 01:23 PM

Collam, i think thats how u spell his name.

freakshow 12-18-2009 04:09 PM

I popped in today to talk to Chris and Jackie in service.. had to rush to work, so I didnt have a chance to say hi though
I might need an e39 fog light from you soon :P

I think his name is Mick??? I'm pretty sure he's Australian...

!SG 12-19-2009 06:27 AM

we dont have a mick. but ill tell Cull that.

In parts, we got Cullam (i think thats how u spell his name), Kristen, Rob, Andrew, Colin, Thomas, Todd (assist manager), and Charlie (Parts manager). In shipping we got Teddy, Marlene, Michael (Close, but he's chinese), Alex, and me =)

We work as an awesome team! I was worried i wouldnt fit in, but they adopted me, and really appreciate how everyone works together.

Haha, ok, sounds stupid, but when the chance, i love hanging out in the tech bay (mechanics bay). its so freakin clean, and i just love cars.

Yesterday was a welcomed surprise, had a couple friends swing by to say hi. also ran into an old friend i would see clearing customs at the border when i use to work at advance.

Mick Pierce is ex-manager for Autowest BMW and transferred to Autowest Infiniti.

The british guy at parts is named Callum. heck, i'm not even sure if that's how you spell it either lol.

!SG 12-19-2009 04:36 PM

haha, you didnt get the chance to see him floss a hot pink womens top today, haha, was hilarious!

we were doing inventory today, so had to go in on saturday. bonus is that i dont need to move my car off lougheed/broadway at 3pm!

I've changed those rims before, they aren't 4 different wheels, just staggered front and rear
19x8 or 19x9s
oem tires are just inside/outs potenza re050a

if you want to talk about 4 different wheels, the new x6 hybrid has different rims on each corner, due to being more aerodynamic :D

!SG 12-19-2009 05:19 PM

how so? then if u dont have a left and right 19x9, the twist in the spoke will be all twisting to one side only. i guess its not a big deal, unless ur super picky.

ohhh you mean the dark gunmetal set? well technically its 4 different wheels as the tires they come are directional. but because the offset for the fronts are different from the rears, that makes the tag for them as being "front left, front right, rear left, rear right"

haha, i would know. i unloaded all of them, and moved almost all the sets upstairs into storage! =P

if u happen to work at brian jessel bmw, the green tape marking off the those sets was done by me =P

G2TegLS 01-03-2010 06:30 PM

I'm pretty sure they are just different from front to rear by width, and they spin all the same direction.
I've replaced them, go check if u want :P

That kristen girl has a stick up her ass. If i get her i usually hang up the phone and phone the BMW store. I have a $2500 parts order im filling in the next day im debating which place to use :\

!SG 01-05-2010 03:39 PM

if you know what parts you want, u can call around for pricing.

if you do call Brian Jessel BMW, call and ask for andrew or thomas. Car enthusiasts are always better and more entertaining to chat with on the phone.
