To help you decide, here's a picture of mine on on 19" CSL replicas and eibach pro suspension. The ride is firmer than normally, but I prefer my cars to be set-up like that. A lot of people put 19" alloys on the E46, though it was never an option for the standard 3 series direct from the factory (other than the M3)

With my car, there is no rubbing, minimum tramlining and no abnormal tyre wear; although I was careful to ensure alignment was set-up correctly, wheels were correct off-set etc. I would recommend good quality alloys - BBS are a good choice, but LMs are extremely expensive, even second hand.

m3 no plate on a non m3 always annoys me

How can you pass comment on class without even seeing the wheels and how they looked on the car??

I will admit that your car looks very nice but I HAVE seen it. You see my point?

I see your point - I guess its possible it could have looked nice. I just cannot visualise a set of 20's on a car like an E46 with pleasant results, thats all. Have you any pictures?

As stated earlier, both those cars were many years ago and no pics I'm afraid.

If you have seen my profile before, you will see that I drive the cream of the BMW crop ( E60 M5, M3's 330 sports, Z4m ) are you seriously going to try and question my taste??? lol

I assumed they were company cars, if you chose them yourself then its quite clear your taste is impeccable
