Looks ok I guess. The problem with 19" fitments for the 1-series is tire sizes. To fit those aggressive wheel widths (some are running 9 1/2 in back) you have to run pretty modest tire widths to keep from rubbing, which leads to the "tire stretch" look. Basically a rubber band of tire on a big wheel. To my eyes there is never enough tire sidewall on 19" wheels for our cars.
