Thinking about some BBS CHRs...

Does anyone have any pics of a Glacier Silver Metallic F30 with satin anthracite BBS CHRs please? I think my 330d would look better on these than the satin black however I can't seem to find any pics though I'm still searching...
Thinking about 19s with 8.5" ET 32 front and 9" rear ET 44 as recommended at Rimstyle.

Tyre Size

What tyre size would you go for?

I'm currently trying to decide what to do about Tyres as the Standard 19 Run flats are shockingly bad.

When I changed the Z4 off run flats I went to the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyre- best tyre I've used by a mile! This is the same tyre that Alpina use on the B3 and D3

What size on the Z and how did the ride change when you switched?

255/30/19s on rear and 225/35/19s on the front. Same size and profiles as the E90 cars.

Ride was transformed on these compared to the Bridgestone RFTs it came with!

A 19" tyre on the F30 is higher profile than the E90 and Z4 so should be even better. You only have this profile tyre on the F30 if you go to the 20" wheels.

Will stay with the standard RFTs for the mo as they have a fair but of tread left. Also ordered black kidney grills (BMW) and a painted boot spoiler (eBay).

Will you get the RFT tyres on to the BBS rims? I thought RFT tyres needed rims designed for taking them?

Yes the F30 wears the same tyres as the E46 M3. What I cant get away from is how the E46 M3 is supposed to drive so much better on its 18 inch wheels. I got spoilt by the 17 inch go flat winters. Now I'm thinking 19 inch go flats might not get me close enough to that amazingly smooth wafting ability. I even find myself thinking sod it - just get some 17 inch summer tyres and get back into comfort mode for real.
