If you do that you will ruin every thing good about that car and be laughed at by any one who knows anything abour BMWs.

If you do choose to go with 19"s then please be sure to drywall screw on a cool three level wing, screw on a cool hood scoop and one of those nifty roof vents!

Enjoy your M!

Depends on the offset.

265 30 19s work on 19x9.5s I think. The offset I had was +48 or so

Also make sure you have ur fenders rolled and dont buy boxy tires.. Yokos, SO3s are sorta boxy.. Toyos worked for me.

Glad I got rid of the 19s, they make braking terrible.

good luck

AHHH STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING! 19" ARE TOO BIGG!


nothing bigger than 18" on E36 M's. Even at that, 18's are pushing it. a nice pair of 17" with toyo proxys is the perfect size for E36. look into stancing your ride on 17"s you'll get a much nicer ride with it that way.

all youre doing is ricing it out with 19's. Taking away from the M3 feel
