Hi,
I have almost decided to opt for the larger 19" 351 M instead of the standard 18" wheels.
Since they are RFT tires they will be very stiff...will they be to stiff?
Whats your opinion? I have never had 19" wheels on a car. On my E60s I have always choosen the 18" standard M-sport wheels.

Go for a test-drive on a car with 19" wheels and see what you think. If you have good roads where you live, then 19" should be fine.

I don't have the answer for you except to tell you that a year ago I had a car (not a BMW) with standard 20" wheels. I was concerned as I do not like a hard ride but they felt (and looked) great. No problems at all.
My F10 will be coming in with 19" wheels. I would not have smaller.
Hope this helps.

Hi Oscar and welcome to the Forum,
The 19" wheels may be nice as winter tires but the your summer wheels need to be at least 20".
The 18" wheels looks very small on a F10 and even smaller on a F10 M Sport.
Here's a pic of a 530d M Sport with 18" wheels:
