With those wheels I would say an SE as they were standard fit on the 330D and 335D

Forget that

Just saw the OPs sig and he has a 318 so those were an upgrade

IMHO leave them as they are. Nice design. Spend the money on some decent winteror all season tyres so you can go anywhere all year round.

What you need, is a big fat set of 19 inch 230's with brand new tyres (ahem, like the ones in the photo on left). That way I can justify a set of CSL reps.....

Fronts are 19" x 8" with offset of 29mm

Rears are 19" x 9" with offset of 40mm

They'll fit an e90 without any issue
