Ive never seen anyone post any issues with the 326's.

How much are you getting them for?

I have the 326m's and no issues. They look phenomenal and easy to clean except between the double spokes is a tight squeeze!

I have no issues, except an unhealthy obsession with keepign them clean as they look soooooo good.

I use a narrow loop brush for between the spokes and the outer edge of the rim, and a long flexible rubber tipped cone brush for the rest of the rims.

They are $1200 extra when ordered with the car, so I wouldn't pay more than that.

they cost $1200 to upgrade, becuase they're removing the $4000 wheels and putting on $5200 wheels....

I purchased the BMW Wheel Brush Kit (cost me $70- CDN up here in Canada) just saw one on line for half that price they work great for the tight places

i got the same one, but with today's cleaners you don't really need a lot of scrubbing

Memphis, I got it because on my summer and winter wheels (both are style 220M) I have the tight spots and the little one gets in there fine the large one helps in keeping the inside (back area) of the wheel nice and clean. I think I am a perfectionist, my wheels have to be spotless

My mistake. I thought he was trading, not buying outright.

Is it motorised? or are they just interchangeable heads?

Handle and interchanging heads very cool I must say ... well worth the dollars.

326m seems to pick up stone chips real easy.

The spokes get damaged rather easily. Poor finish maybe but I had no such problem with my 296s.

Brakes look a bit undersized with these rims.
