1. What year is the car? My 1998 528i is able to use 15, 16, and 17 inch rims so it may be possible.
2. For summer driving, I favour the Vredestein Ultrac Sessenta. But everyone will have their own opinion on this
This is a US-based forum....you`re on the other side of the world. Depends on what local suppliers you have available, as far as tires go. Brands like Hankook and Kumho have good, reasonably-priced tires. And yes, you can use 17-inch wheels on your car. Read the E46 Wiki, it contains information on proper wheel fitment.
Hi. Yes, you can use 17's. The BMW rims that came on my 316 SE (E46) are BMW's own. The tyre size on them is 225 / 45 / 17's. But if you buy different wheels from mine, you'll need to match the rims with the appropriate 17" tyres obviously.
A good balance of performance and price are the new Uniroyal Rainsport 3 if you're in a cooler climate. They are about 85 euro a side if you purchase online. They are amazing in all weather and get better ratings than almost every other premium brand. Warmer climate? Find a good website and look at the reviews. Bridgestone/ Michelin/ Pirelli usually a safe bet. Have a look at the reviews.

Yes, you can go to 17, but keep the overall diameter of the wheel (rim + tire) the same as stock. Bigger rim go to lower profile tire.
