The 3D Design Anniversary AV1 (AV1) is a limited 1-piece forged monoblock wheel created to commemorate 3D Design Corporation's 10th anniversary. Produced by BBS Japan — the gold standard of Japanese wheel manufacturing — the AV1 realises 3D Design's original spoke design in forged aluminium, combining the prestige of BBS craftsmanship with 3D Design's BMW-specific engineering. Engineered to fit the BMW F82 M4 and F80 M3 without any spacers, the AV1 is the definitive collector's wheel for owners of these iconic M cars — available in Gold and Diamond Black finishes. A rare opportunity to own a wheel that represents a milestone in 3D Design's history.
| Diameter | Width | Offset (ET) | Holes | PCD | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20" | 9.5J | +25 | 5 | 120 | Front (F82 M4 / F80 M3) |
| 20" | 10.5J | +35 | 5 | 120 | Rear (F82 M4 / F80 M3) |
The AV1 is a limited anniversary model — non-standard configurations are available on request via 3D Design's custom forged program. Contact [email protected] with your chassis and desired specification.
Both colours are BBS native paint codes, matching the palette seen on BBS's own motorsport and premium road wheel ranges throughout their history.
The AV1 was engineered specifically for the BMW F82 M4 and F80 M3 — confirmed factory-fit without spacers:
The AV1 staggered setup (9.5J front, 10.5J rear) is an exact engineering match for the F80/F82 platform's factory track widths and brake caliper clearances — no adapters or spacers required.
The standard AV1 is configured for PCD 5×120 (BMW M4/M3 standard). For application to other BMW platforms requiring 5×112 (G80 M3, G82 M4, E46 M3), contact us at [email protected] — custom PCD configurations may be available through 3D Design's program.
3D Design's 10th anniversary was marked not with a simple special edition, but with a commission: an original wheel design executed by BBS Japan to 3D Design's specification. BBS Japan is the Japanese production arm of BBS, the German wheel brand whose forged monoblock wheels have appeared in Formula 1, DTM, and on the finest road cars from Stuttgart and Munich. When 3D Design brought their 10th anniversary design to BBS Japan for manufacture, the result was the AV1 — a wheel that carries the DNA of both organisations. The AV1 spoke design is 3D Design's original; the forging, machining, and quality standards are BBS's. The combination makes the AV1 unlike any other wheel available for the F80 M3 and F82 M4.
| Model | Construction | Sizes | Made By | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AV1 Anniversary | 1-Piece Monoblock | 20" | BBS Japan | F80 M3 / F82 M4 — collector |
| Type 3 (T3F) | 1-Piece Monoblock | 19", 20" | 3D Design | BMW sport platforms — ultralight |
| T521 | 2-Piece Forged | 21", 22" | 3D Design | BMW 7/8 Series, G05/G06 X5/X6 |
| Brombacher | 3-Piece Forged | 19", 20" | 3D Design | Classic BMW heritage aesthetic |
While the AV1 was created as an anniversary limited model, 3D Design's custom forged program can produce the AV1 design in configurations beyond the standard 20"×9.5J and 20"×10.5J catalogue. Whether you own a newer G80 M3, a classic E46 M3, or a different BMW platform, contact [email protected] to explore whether a custom AV1 configuration can be produced for your chassis.
What is the 3D Design AV1?
The AV1 is a 10th anniversary limited model — a 1-piece forged monoblock wheel produced by BBS Japan to 3D Design's original spoke design. Available in 20" for BMW F80 M3 and F82 M4 in Gold and Diamond Black.
Who manufactures the AV1?
BBS Japan — commissioned exclusively by 3D Design for this anniversary model. The AV1 is not a BBS catalogue product; it is manufactured to 3D Design's proprietary spoke design under the BBS Japan license.
Does the AV1 fit without spacers on the F80 M3 and F82 M4?
Yes. 3D Design engineered the AV1's 9.5J+25 (front) and 10.5J+35 (rear) specifications to fit the F80/F82 platform exactly — no spacers or modifications required.
Are wheel bolts included?
Yes — unlike most 3D Design models, the AV1 includes 5 wheel bolts per wheel in addition to the centre emblem and air valve.
Is the Gold finish still available?
The Gold (GL) option was discontinued on the 3D Design website. Contact us at [email protected] to confirm current availability of Gold and Diamond Black stock.
Can the AV1 be ordered for the new G80 M3 or G82 M4?
The standard AV1 is for F80/F82 (5×120 PCD). G80/G82 use 5×112. Contact us — a custom-PCD AV1 may be possible through the 3D Design custom program.
Most aftermarket wheels for the F80 M3 and F82 M4 choose between two paths: lightweight competition wheels optimised for track use, or luxury forged wheels aimed at boulevard aesthetics. The AV1 occupies a unique third position — a collector's wheel built to the quality standards of a motorsport supplier (BBS Japan), designed by a BMW tuning house (3D Design), and engineered to the exact tolerances of the M3/M4 platform. The result is a wheel that performs as well as it looks: forged monoblock construction means no assembly joints that can loosen, no hardware that can corrode, and no compromise in the rigidity that BMW's M differential and carbon driveshaft demand. At the same time, the AV1's ten-spoke design is both more aggressive and more elegant than the OEM M Performance wheels — making it the definitive visual upgrade for the F-generation M cars.
Hodoor World ships the 3D Design AV1 Anniversary wheels internationally from Japan. As a limited edition model, stock may be constrained — contact us to confirm availability before ordering.
