I think the 18" are fine and also the ideal size for winter tires on the F10. I have my 18" Rial Como wheels and Dunlop WinterSport 3D's installed right now and they look pretty good. The 17"s are too small and also might scrape the brake calipers. The 19"s are just too big to be effective in the snow.

M Sport they will look even smaller. Why order the M Sport if not for the looks?
The 19" wheels can also be ordered with 245 tires, it's the width not the profile that matters in winter tires.
