That is what I was wondering, will the 19" M3 wheel sizes fit the e90?

apparently they do

i have 235/35/19 and 265/30/19.. i would have loved to go with 40 front and 35 rear.

I have just ordered my E90 320d M Sport in the UK, and have got the model deletion as an option (no cost in the UK). Can't you choose that as an option in America? Saves the hassle on getting pissed and hanging around your garage with floss and a hairdryer. Good to see the photos though, as mine is going to be black (sapphire however) and I havent seen one yet without the badges. Looks good!

Yes, it looks GREAT! But I bet you get sick when you hit all those bumps and holes in NYC, but looks great

I was wondering about the M3 wheels how they would look and hold up, or maybe 18's instead of 19's hmmm

02-10-2006, 03:08 PM

go with 19's ..18's look small. if you go with 19's i think you can do 40 front and 35 rear if your not lowering your car

LOL actually none of the above.

The factory put the wrong badge (325xi) on my car, so the ED Delivery Center was going to correct it, but didn't have it in stock. Then the VPC and my dealer both missed it, so I just said forget it. I kind of like it being inconspicous anyways. Also it does give it a cleaner look.
