Just wished they came in 20's. I really didn't want to lower my car and the wheel gap was starting to bother me. Love your M3 (finally)
Im trying to decide between 19's and 20's for my 05 545, i have the sportpackage and mtech kit....Does the 20 inch effect the ride quality?? Also has your car been lowered?? and no spacers correct?

Yea, felt that way early on, but I dont mind it. Probably sometime down the road I may have it painted over. For now it doesn't bother me.

Obviously this is a personal opinion, but matte paint is a bad idea unless the car is a garage queen, show car, and the like. From what we've been reading about the matte paint coming out of BMW factory, it's a pain to keep clean, and even worse to maintain.

If I remember correctly for devildawg, this is his daily, so probably not a good idea.

I just dropped my car off and I have roughly 3 days until i give them the final color choice. I going nuts! My final two choices are keeping it white (starfire pearl) or Frozen Gray. Any thoughts on that color? Personally I just think my car doesn't have enough body lines to pull that off like the m3. If I got a vorsteiner hood or the one everyone is waiting for perhaps, but I have no clue. Im just starting to wonder if I will regret not changing the color after having the oppurtunity to.
