To be fair, the M sport option is $3,800

You need to have perfect roads to be able to survive no bent rims or blown tires with those wheels.

Thanks for the feedback/information. The roads I’m on are anything but perfect. Blew out one of my 18’s already. Don’t think I’ll press my luck. Thanks! Ps. Driving the M340 has been the most fun I’ve had in years.

19" tire will have more precise and quicker steer response. Higher stability when braking at high speed. More control in bends, especially in fast one. Bumpier ride, less control on wet, higher fuel consumption. I think that's all

I LOVE LOVE the 18s with go flat tires as well as having a spare tire.
I am super thankful BMW gave us that option. My car is pretty much loaded and I am so glad they did not combine some fancy wheels as part of a package. 18s ride better, tires are cheaper, they are more durable. This car is my daily and she looks awesome as is. Now, if I lived in a place with with tons of sunshine, no winter and nice roads, I would be running 20" Mperfromance wheels but not in Seattle for a daily / leased car.

The increased handling of the larger wheels is worth the money. In the winter I do swap the wheels out for 19" wheels with winter tires. |

Thanks to all who posted in this thread. We recently ordered an M340i with the stock 18" wheels, and I was wondering if I made the right choice. Seems like I did. I certainly don't want a bumpier ride, less control on wet, or higher fuel consumption.

Was thinking about swapping my 225/40/19's for 235/40/19's. I know the difference is minimal but I would gain 0.4" in width and only add 0.3" in height thereby only increasing the car's overall center of gravity by 0.15". The slight increase in sidewall could only help with shock absorption. Going with 245/35/19's would look better but then I am reducing ride height as well as sidewall. Wife already complains it's too low and too bumpy so wouldn't make sense anyway.
