BMAutosport get good ratings. They can get in any tyre. I'm buying a set of CSL reps and thier price for the premium tyres I wanted is competitive.

I had my tyres delivered from Camskill to chris at ******** who then had them fitted to a set of their wheels and delivered to my house ready to go.
I could not recommend them highly enough.

If you want keep your 17s, than just change tyres to non runflats. Nothing bettrr than genuine alloys if not cracked. Try: camskill , mytyres, lovetyres

As above anything other than OEM wheels look odd on an e90 in 17"

If its the ride quality that your worried about

18" alloys with non rft's will ride better than 17" alloys with rft's.

Its the run flats that make for an aweful ride

well the tyres turned up quickly. ive had the wheels fully refurbed in grey also. what do you think? ditching the runflats was the right thing to do!

not the best pic. the pictures dont do the finish on the wheels justice, they have a lovely gloss finish.
