The reason BMW doesn't have the 19" wheels as an option the 520d ED is most likely because of emissions/fuel consumption issues.

To be able to get down to the stated figures it has to run on slim tires with as little roll resistance as possible. This is common practice for the "efficient" models of all manufacturers (but some gives you the opportunity to go with fat wheels, which in reality invalidates the CO2 claims etc.).
