Question about 19in wheel option
For the m package. If I opt for the 19s, will the car stand taller than with the 18s. It seems like I'd get be sitting a half in taller than the normal 18s.
Also if yes would my front bumper have better clearance when going over those cement parking blocks? I'm always scraping those and I hate it so I'm thinking if I order the 19s the car will sit a littler higher and I can avoid scraping. Sometimes just half an inch or an inch makes a difference. |

No, the 19's have lower profile tires than the 18's
Ride height will be the same |

I got her a e90 msport last year and it just sits in my garage every since she curbed the front bumper after 2000 miles. she refuses to drive that car. she saw that the new 3 series were not as low so she wants that. but she wants it in BLUE...so EB is the only color. |

FYI the suspension that goes on the Sport/M sport models is 10mm lower. Also, the shape of the Msport bumper makes it more likely to hit things since it sticks further out at the edges.
The Modern/Lux/Base lines will sit higher. If she wants a car with ground clearance then go for an X1/X3.
