BMW using 5x112 on i3/i8.

I'm in the process of doing a set of aftermarket wheels and coilovers for my i3 and ran into this in my research.

BMW reduced the Centerbore size. I can't confirm via documents what it is, I measured it to be 66.5mm. Due to reduction of the CB they reduced the bolt pattern from 5x120 to 5x112.

There is also a special tool for the dealer and their balancing machines since everything they own is 4x100(e30 and older) or 5x120.

The 2016+ 7-series G11/G12 are also 5x112 bolt patterns now.

BMW has also adjusted the bolt pattern on the new MINI models to 5x112.

This is a pretty common size for a large number of brands including VW, Audi, Mercedes
