JayEll,
Suggest that you consider 19" BMW Style 128's for your new car.
See attached link
128 style

Mark - appreciate the link. They are nice rims. I was also thinking about genuine Alpina Classic 19's. Dread to think about the cost though. Am considering contacting Sytner Nottingham (official Alpina GB contact) to see what they would quote.
Do you know how much the 128's are with boots?

128 19" rules.

i think alpina 19" classics is a bit 'conservative' shall we say.
if you don't have the alpina mods and use alpina wheels, i think it makes the car incomplete.

I hear what you're saying and totally agree. But I also don't like buying after market wheels that are non BMW. This limits me to either genuine BMW (lack of choice for 19" rims), or BMW tuner's wheels (Schnitzer, Hamman etc ....)
Open to suggestions.....

Does anyone know if the 135M on this car are the same as the ones on the 3 series? Or is it a different offset?

In this link you can find it:

http://zoouz.free.fr/Wheels/style/style_135.htm

The 3 series offset is the same than z4, but 5 series offset is different.
