BMW 3 Series — Bolt Pattern & Wheel Fitment

The BMW 3 Series bolt pattern varies by model year: 5x112 (5x4.41) for 2019–2024 (candidate); 5x120 (5x4.72) for 1999–2018 (candidate). Find your model year below before buying wheels.

Which row is yours matters. Wheels from one generation will not fit another where the bolt pattern differs. Check your model year, body style and trim, not just the model name.

BMW 3 Series bolt pattern — frequently asked

What is the BMW 3 Series bolt pattern?

It depends on the model year: 2019-2024 is 5x112 (5x4.41), not yet verified; 2012–2018 is 5x120 (5x4.72), not yet verified; 2006–2011 is 5x120 (5x4.72), not yet verified; 1999–2005 is 5x120 (5x4.72), not yet verified. Wheels from one pattern will not fit the other.

Do all 3 Series model years have the same bolt pattern?
