I have a set of OEM 19'' 132's with basically new tires for sale if you decide to go that route.

2000 to 2003 87s fine 2004 to 2006 168 my opinion

I too love the 87's. But the 214's on my E53 are also sweet!!!

As to the difference between 19 and 20, my opinion is that it is not the size as much as the tire that matters. I had a set of 19" rims with the Michelin Diamaris and I hated the way that it handled and rode. With my 20" rims and Dunlop Sport Maxx tires the ride and handling is great. So for me the difference was in the tires.

20's. lower profile and better handling. the rims richrich has are hot.

And a member of the "here's $500 more dollar for the larger tires" club.

Get 20s. They look just right.
