21" 310M wheel set good deal recommendation

Just as a little tip.
I just bought a brand new set of the 21" 310M wheels with runflats "for the E70" from a UK BMW dealer. Swapped to TPMS sensors and put them on my F15 M50d.

I´ve seen several BMW dealers listing these sets at well below half price compared to a new set listed for the F15.

My guess is that since they have different sensors they have different product codes and therefore the dealers have to stick to what model they are listed for.
The same set of wheels is available for the F15 but just with a different code and different sensors.

So, the set cost me £2238 + shipping the pallet to Sweden from UK £270+new sensors £90+labour £80= £2678
Was quoted £4800 for the "F15" set here in Sweden by my dealer.

Listings on eBay.uk claim regular price £6500. Don´t know about that but a good deal anyways.

Here are 2 BMW dealers with the same kit in the UK
Seems they both have 2 sets.

Many thanks for this hint - really interesting. Were the wheels supplied with run flat summer tyres?

Yes, the set I bought from BMW Sheffield via Ebay had the standard Dunlop Sport Maxx Runflats. Which was specified in that listing. Saw that they haven't specified that in the listings above. The set should come with Runflats but drop the dealer a line and ask to be sure.


Edit:
Here are the new sensors you need
