Great looking car!!

I think the posters are referring to the fact that you can (unless you spec it with all-season tires) order a M235i from the factory with non-RF Pilot Super Sports (unlike other non-M cars, as you point out). That being the case, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that these upgraded wheels have RF tires (should least have an option to spec non-RF tires). Maybe these are meant for other models as well (e.g., 3/4 series), all of which are RF only from the factory.
One thing is certain looking at the way those wheels fill the arches - BMW needs to offer a 19-inch rim option from the factory!!
