My Ride: 07' 530d - M-Sport - Titanium Silver / Black Dakota leather
08' 120i - M-Sport - Alpine White III / Black Sensatec
since your alias is '535d 172M' 172Ms the only way to go... And they look great!

I have ordered a 535d with M Sportpacket. For the wheels I doubt between type of 124 and 172.
Is the difference in comfort large between 18 - 19 inch

I have ordered mine with 172's but don't get them until early May, some shortage by BMW, so mine will come next Tuesday with the std sport 18" and change over in may. I doubt very much if there is a major difference. I think the ride will be just as hard with both. I will of course post my findings to the forum.

The ride with my 19" Max Performance tires is better than with 18" runflats. Plus the handling and performance is much, much better. I find 18" normal tires way too soft. Go with the 19's.

FWIW the road conditions in your neighborhood will dictate which size to get. In ideal road conditions go with the 19" less than ideal rode conditions and I recommend the 18's. Welcome aboard!!

Thanks already for the comments. Normally the car is provided mid- April 
but with the modification to 172's it will be the end of May 
. Is there someone who knows the weight of the different rims 172 - 101 ? 135.
Are there more pictures form the 172's.
I have only found this two.
