No I just got these. I'm selling my 403M's...
I actually like them both. Had a hard time deciding between them. 442M won out at the end.

Here's my car with the 403M's:
Did I make the right choice?

I like the 403Ms, remind me of the E46 M3 style 67 wheels, but neither look bad and definitely better than the 436Ms.

No they are not, one is a 7-spoke design and the other is a 5-spoke design.

I think you made the right choice!

It's a straight swap from a 2014 335i M Sport. TPMS is the only thing that wasn't compatible.

Rear Tyres 255/35/19 (92 Y)
Front Tyres 225/40/19 (89 Y)
No spacers.

I just sent you a link from Amazon.
Super easy to install. No heat gun needed like on my F10. Clips in very securely.

They're off a 2014 335i M-Sport. But I believe they're identical to the ones on the 4 series. There is a darker color. Mine is Ferric gray, the darker color is Orbit gray.

there is a set near me for sale, but you say the sensors arent compatible, so there is no way of fitting the correct sensors onto these then i take it, they simply aren't compatible.?

Just swap the senors out. My local tire shop charged me $150 to take my M235i sensors and put them in the 442M wheels. Works perfectly.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
