Loads of people. I would have been one of them except for the fact Direct Line wanted an extra 50% of my premium to have aftermarket alloys.

Mine is a E92 so can't help on that, but a E90 owner on here may know more? |

Are 19" wheels too big for an E90? How much of an effect does it have to economy and performance?

18"s are probably more of a good balance between ride comfort and looks. With 19"s you will have to end up getting 'rubber band' style low profile tyres (to keep the wheels within the manufacterers rolling radius tolerances) which will mean a harder ride but they do fill the arches nicely .
Personally, I've driven a E90 with 18" MV3's and my E92 has 19" 225M's as factory fit. I only found my ride quality marginally harder than the E90 with 18"s. |

Standard ET on the rear of the E90 is between ET34-ET37,standard on the E92 is ET39. Those wheels: http://www.bmautosport.co.uk/showroo...ide-rear-p-389 will fit an E90 no problems. BM auto's gets a from me,Mark's a very helpful Guy and supplies quality wheels. |

I just fitted some csl reps with 235/35/19 tyres and all seems well. Think I need to lower it now though.
