Hi TBT
How was your 19", are you happy with it? Any performance, ride and consumption penalty on your 320i as a result of larger wheel?

Re: Anyone trade in their rims & tyre
Tbt traded in to external tyre shop for 18" rims (not 19") with PS2 tyres. U sure u will be happy with just 17"? In my personal opinion, the E90 needs at least 18" to 19" to look good. If u only want to go 17", I suggest u stick to 16" coz the price PML quoted u is ridiculous. Bear in mind also that 17" rims generally has poor resale value.

Re: Anyone trade in their rims & tyre
hmmmm.... IMHO the 18" feels better on the car, cos the 16" stock rims & tire are really heavy, i did a butt feel test on the rims of both the 16" & 18" before they are mounted on the car, i think the 16" stock are at least 20% heavier than my current 18".
of course i am not on run-flat tire, the price of the run-flat are really expensive for a start & not many places are selling them also.

Hi Wilman2772
My question was any performance penalty, not gain...
I suspect there would be some. Question is HOW MUCH...

Hi BMW,
Check with your SE whether there are any owners of the 17/18" rims that may be getting their rides (330i owners esp) and wish to trade in their rims prior to collection. You may be able to get a good price this way for the upgrade.
Sometimes, the Parts & Accessories department may have customers who wish to sell their parts too and you may be able to get good price. All this you may wish to check with your sales advisor.
For $4500, you can easily go for a good set of aftermarket rims + quality tyres.
Cheers.
