I have the same dilemma with wheels.
The factory wheels (despite needing a more aggressive offset / concavity, and lower weight) do really suit the car.
The only BBS fitment that I see that works is the CHR, and I'm not sure it's an aesthetic improvement over the factory wheel design.

Looked more like Jet Black than Sapphire Black Metallic in the picture - but still an amazing finish!

I'm not completely sold on the LM's for the E82 as they kind of work but it needs a drop and a few cosmetics to get it looking right. LM's were more of a 80's/90's boxy BMW fit. I haven't seen any other BBS or other wheels that really wow me like the stock M-Sport.

I used Style 32's on my preivous 5 that had deep dishes - almost like the Alpina wheels. I wonder if the old M-Pars (E38/39) would fit the E82? Always liked those too.



I may go 10mm spacers all around with the stock wheels - that would flush them out. I assume someone has done that already here - I just got to search the forum more :-)
