Re: Prefl 320i on 19 inch rims. Advice needed
I'm contemplating changing my stock wheels to either 19" 403M or 20" 405M. My ride is a 320i also... Seems like some slowness and bumpy ride is to be expected after the swap? Shall do some more research! Any bros made similar switch? Thanks in advance.
(Sorry about the semi hi-jack)

I wouldn't listen to that guy if i were u..
19" should be more than enough IMHO.
With lower profile tyres for 19" (or 20") sure compromise on the comfort, slightly stiffer than stock for sure, but u'll be smiling when taking corners.
Happy modding !!

Mine 19" because E series wheel well smaller.
F30 OEM wheels got 20" - wheel well bigger so fits nicely. Tyre aspect ratio different so trust that BMW knows what they doing for comfort for the F30.
But of course - if you can get light 20" rims and tyres can reduce the lag.

Please let me know how the drive feels. I'm thinking of changing my F30 to BMW OEM 20" 405M once I reach 30,000km.

I'm still in my research phase. The hunt always the fun part right?
But after my trip to AD and other after market shops, I know for sure I won't be going for the 405M. After seeing it in person, I feel the tyre profile is too low for me.
403M still on short list along with BBS CHR. Hope to finally upgrade in next 2 weeks. Will let you know my post mod experience for sure.
Just curious why are you using 30,000 km as benchmark to change?

So far I've not known of a 320i installed with a 20". The closest I've seen was the Alpina with a 20" but its an Alpina! It will fly on any size. Visually it looks great!
Shoes can look worn out when it reaches 30,000km. Its a good time to change rims too.

Installed 19" BBS CHR rims with Michelin PSS.

I don't know if all in my head but I feel the car got a little acceleration lag when compared to before. But overall drive quality feels significantly improved. Cornering and performance in rainy weather significantly better.
