Next week my 2015 M4 conv mineral white with orange interior comes in. I had debated the Stingray but I think I'm going to be super happy with this. I never had an M before.
I am looking for a little advice. The car was ordered with HK SOUND, exec package, Automatic, adaptive M suspension. I did not opt for the 19 inch larger wheels since I do need to take NYC driving into consideration.

My question is this...with these 18 inches and me not street driving aggressively...would you recommend the tire and rim insurance, it will be about 1400 bucks for 3 years. Just curious how durable the light alloy is.

Any pointers on this or in general would be awesome. Thanks so much in advance!

Welcome Mike! Plenty of good places here in NYC to repair wheels if they get bent or cracked due to pot holes. Previously I had an e93 M3 with factory 19's. I had zero wheel issues. I did however one night out (NYE) had the pleasure of driving over a nail gun strip of 10 nails! 1 tire was trashed, but that was it.
My vote is to pass on the insurance.
