still doubting between M5 or M6 rimms (18")

Car is ordered, due mid june... and indeed will have the 135M rimms.
I agreed I can leave them at my dealer for a fair price.

I would definitely reconsider and keep the 135M, they are the best looking 18" rims for a touring.

M6 wheels, even original 19", do not look right on a touring IMO, not enough substance to the wheel to balance the large amount of bodywork. 172s or M5 are much better (even though the wheel detail itself is not as nice)
If you're staying with 18s then the 135s are as good as you will get.

We don't have homologation problems here so I'm no expert, but I don't understand how OE wheels are not homologated but replicas are OK.

19inch under a touring is not homologated and 18 inch is.
