had a look today the car is m sport so quite low already

If you are going aftermarket, 20s.
If you are going OEM BMW, 19s (the only thing you can do).
wrong 21in 128's are amazing

Don't forget 20" OEM style 32's...


member anand rahim's:







IMO, 19" for performance, 20" for looks...some companies/brands are able to balance both size, performance, and looks well


GL with your decision

if i was into making my car perform better then it would be no question, 19's. If you dont drive your car aggressive and want just the looks, then 20s are for you. thats what i think

You currently have 18", 19" won't give you much difference in look. You'll be happier with 20" for sure.
