I currently have 16 inch wheels but am getting tired of the "Honda look"

My BMW is all-wheel
drive. If I switch to 18 inch wheels with all season tires what can I expect in terms of changes in how my car will perform and drive?
Anyone with a similar experience out there?

Thanks

18" is a pretty common upgrade on this car. The E90 tends to handle pretty well wtih 18" wheels. The ride will be firmer, but not what I would call harsh with teh stock suspension.

Thanks for your input. So I'm assumimg most people are happy with the ride on 18's?

Correct. I hear very few complaints with 18" fitments on this car.

my stock 18's roll just fine on our 06 330i. We just switched out to Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's. Great tires! :thumbup:
