My Ride: BMW 530d titansilver, manual transmission
BMW 535d titansilver, automatic + AMG shift Paddles
As for the ride height, the front seems perfect, and the rear maybe 10-20mm (one inch?) too high. Is that the standard-spec suspension?
And to be honest.....I just love your wheels
They look fantastic !! How much did you pay for them?

To me that sounds quite expensive but I guess it's just a couple of hundred dollars more than the 166 rims so.....I think it sets the car apart, especially as it's white ;-)

I think they look very nice. Black on white is a nice combo.
Ride height seems fine too. Might look different in person, but I dont see any reason why you would need to lower the car.

Remember that when you sit in the car (+ a passenger) the rear goes down a bit.
