19 inch winter tires

What does everyone think about 19 inch winter tires. Do you think that I should go for 18's to get a softer ride?? THe winter pot holes could kill me car??? I have the tire and rim insurance so I'm not too worried about the rims or rubber but I don't want to kill the car or create rattles in the car.

While I have seen 19" and 20" snow tires being made...none of them are in the correct width and aspect ratio size for a 19" wheel to be mounted on your E93.

If you have to deal with a lot of snow, then probably best to go with narrow 17" wheels which will cut through the snow better. Otherwise 18" will be ok.
