You cannot go wrong with 19s, they will fill out the wheel well and look correctly sized for the E90/E92 Chassis. However, if you choose the right design and color setup, 20's can look absolutely stunning. We just did a set of 20s on Jon's new project 335i and they really set the car off. Nothing turns heads like the wheels given their massive size and lips. It's a setup I recommend for people looking to really stand out and get that wow factor.

Many go both ways and 20" looks pretty hot, but you'll need to use such a low profile tire that ride is affected, and you'll need to be very careful about rough roads and potholes.

This is very true. So you might want to go with a 19" wheel due to the fact that LA roads, for lack of a better word, SUCK. Watch out for potholes on either wheel, but I would be way to worried about 20"s than with 19"s
