I prefer the look of the 18" 400M, the 19" do look good in the pictures I have seen but my final decision was made based the fact that 19" wheels with run flat tires is a bad idea for Chicago streets, potholes and crappy condition of the streets in general would make a really harsh ride. So 18" with performance was what I picked, Going with a winter wheel/tire setup as well. to me getting AWD with all season is a worse option than getting RWD with snow tires, if you are getting AWD because of cold weather climate, you should go all out and get snow tires as well...
I also find it VERY hard to believe the tires will only last 10,000 miles, who told you that? My Mercedes C63 lasted 6,000 with stock tires which were crap, 10,000 miles with Michelin Pilot Pro Sport and that thing ate tires (aggresive camber and over 400 lbs torque!). My dad's M3 tires lasted him 20,000 miles (doesn't drive that aggressive but thats still pretty good). I would assume the 335i tires will last at least 20,000 if not 25,000 miles with moderate driving. Since I am leasing and using snow tires for at least 1/3 the year, i am hoping my stock tires will last the entire lease with no wear/tear deduction at lease end...
