m-sport wheels
Would you rather get the 18's (style 400M) or 19's (style 403M) seeing as how you will get staggered set up with summer performance tires on both?

I really want 18's but i want a square setup so i can rotate tires. I am afraid of how often I am going to have to replace tires on mine when she comes in.

See the ordering guide, you have the option. "with mixed tyres"

just request it - it is a no-cost option, but you will lose summer performance tires for all season, i believe. i think they have the square set up more geared for xdrive models.

seems like the 18s are winning 2:1, which means we have a pretty rationale crowd here. form is secondary to function....

this is fantastic news as I was really wanting all seasons as well. Now I will be able to rotate them and hopefully make them last a little longer.

so? that doesn't translate to any sort of performance advantage.... except that you're slower off the blocks and off the apex....considering both have the same width.

I love the 403's, but apparently one can only order the 400's with the 328i M-Sport?

Yeah, I saw that on the order catalogue. Makes no sense. I don't understand why the pkg has to have any differences between the 2 models.

I have ordered the M400.
First of all, I love 5-spoke wheels. And second, I have the bad habit to damage my wheels on the road curbs when parking So I take the smaller rims.

so, you said form is second to function, which is wrong. the 19's are worse performance wise compared to the 18s.
