I have ordered my car with two sets of wheels and tires, both with Style 244 17" rims.
One set for the winter and one for the summer (factory 225/50 17" tires, brand unknown).
Since the car will be delivered in January the winter set with Nokian RSi 225/50 17" RF's will be on then.
But the summer set could go for sale, as factory new, and the 18" Style 247 rims could replace them.
Is it worth it? I don't know.
What do you guys think?
(Cannot get the pics to load in the order I want, but I guess you see the differences.)

Hi!
Absolutely take those 247's for summer!
Why is it worth? Because then you could sell me those 244's
I'm pondering here if I should go from 16" to 17" for winter 
You get the picture right?!

Too obvious?
Anyone for the 244's?

I saw 520d with same color and 244 in our local dealer premises today and it looks good.

I would stick to the 244s that will be on the car on its arrival. If the car is your property and not a lease company's, keep the 244's for winter use and save up for a set of nice 19" rims and non-RFTs for the summer months. I have 244s on my car and after 5 months I am still satisfied with the looks.

Nokian RSi RF's tires for the winter and with RF's summers from the factory.
To E60BEEMER,
I love the 19" M wheels, but the fact is that the car is best to drive with 17" 225/50 tires
and acceptable with 18" 245/40 (I have the 18" on my current E60).
But what would it be like with 19" 245/35 and 275/30 tires?
Our roads are not that good, because of the harsh winter and spike winter tires.
