If I ever have the spare money I would go for the AC Schnitzer type Viii, this is a very nice wheel which comes in 8.5 x 19 ET43 all round, they fit same width tyres as standard (225 & 245) but with this offset they would fill the arches admirably. They would of course take wider tyres as well.
Found some nice 624M 19" on EBaY (Germany) - does ET45 front and ET52 rear sound right for the M140 i tho ?

Any iea if I can just swap the TPMS valves over from the stock 18", or best to buy a new set ?

Cheers, hope you are enjoying the M140i - much torquier than I though twould be !
