After that I will try to find a set of wheels. I do not want to go 20" that is very impractical, so 19" will be the biggest I am willing to put up with and I want a 5 spoke staggered setup similar to the 335i I used to have.

If I am doing the OEM route, it will be the 437M 19" staggered, probably 8.5x19 and 9.5x19, it will make it look more like an M4.

If I am going aftermarket, the wheels that really caught my attention is the Vorsteiner 19", same setup. This is around $2,000, so a bit pricier.

The cheaper wheels I can consider are the Niche Targa wheels (cast not forged) like this for $1k.

The last option would be an Axis set of wheels, also pretty cheap at around $1k.

What do you think? I know I will need a drop after that Gotta pace myself with all these mods.

I think they look really good. But that concave look is what I am after.
Look at this liquid blue M3 in this forum, that is what I am after.

BTW, is your roof wrapped? It looks really good on AW. I am still waiting for the good weather to return in Phoenix so I can get that part done

I took it to a body shop and left them a piece from the car (bumper tow hook cover), each car also has a three digit alpha numerical automotive paint code. The body shop matched and gave the bumper back to me for my diY installation
You can buy from umnitza as well, but a bit more expensive. For an extra fee, they can also ship you a bumper painted.

Sorry haven't done much since the M wheel swap. Had a baby in the last year.
I am working on the headlights right now, need to do that bumper justice first
