@jadedj I went with 18s and wish I would have listened to most of the forum and gone with 19s. Mine look great and I love them, but should have gone 19!
I have a 2010 as well but year for E61 won't matter, all AWD with the same offset specs, square setup with 43 offset. To answer your question, no you don't need to lower it just go with 35 profile or less (40 profile would be fine for my eyes and ride better) but most on here will probably say 245/35/19, of course you could go wider if you want.
I ended up going with 18 inch BBS CH's in Gunmetal, offset of 38. Good luck!
