So far so good, no complain. The interior is so much quieter than my old E60 n the ride is less bumpy. Besides the wheels, did u add anything to the car ?

Any suggestion? Thanks.

Choice of rims really is a matter of personal preference.

If you like bimmer original style, get the OEM wheels which are cast wheels.

If you want performance rims, get aftermarket forged or flow formed wheels. they are stronger and lighter. more aggressive and mod look

19 and 20" are for good look. ride comfort will suffer and very costly.

18" will be more practical but IMO, why swap the stock 17" to 18", not much difference. might as well stick with the stock ones.

No keen on doing any mods to the 1er as it is just something to tie me over to my F10
