Is going from 17" to 18" worth it?

I have a 28i without sports package or dynamic handling package.
It has the standard 17” wheels.

We’ve been having some very windy days (25mph +) and I’ve noticed it makes the car slightly wobbly at least when compared to my previous BMW's.

I’m wondering if going to an 18 inch wheel with the resulting lower profile sidewall would help this in any respect, or is what I’m feeling just a result of the suspension. I don’t want to go larger than 18” as I still want to keep ride quality a priority (we have terrible roads here).

Can I expect the dealer to give me something on trade in on my original set of wheels (approx 200 miles on them)?
