My dilemma… the bottom is my exact spec bg red calipers those wheels… but those 718’s on top are insane looking

Any other downside ? Is the ride or traction noticeably worse?

Want Classier look? Go top.

Want more sportier look? Go bottom.

I have the same 20" now on my x3 30i m sport and they are nice but these 718's are so sick looking.... I just don't know what to do.. my wife just said do whatever you want and my son (has m340i now) said it doesn't matter you have a b58 coming lol...he did admit the 718's look better but also reminded me the 699 20" look good too.

Personally, I prefer the look of 21” rims on this size car, and I have no issues with ride on RFT’s and 718M’s. Generally tyre choice isn’t usually a big thing in the UK, so not even on the radar for most people here.

'Top' and 'Bottom' in the same thread. Intriguing - LOL

Anyhow, now you have that idea in your heads, is bottom for me. Biased since I have them and the look great with BG. Well, until you kerb one of the f*ckers and can't help but notice the rash now :-/
