18s are the sweet spot for most of us :)

My current one came on 108s like Jamie's, but my previous one had 135Ms - both are 18s.

But I do like 106s and 200s, even if they are 17s.

107s are also popular, as are 32s (even if they are an E46 wheel).

Hopefully this may help:- https://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/bmw_a ... e85_alloys

the only thing to be wary of is moving to larger wheels from the 16" ones your on will effect the ride quality. However that said if your currently on Oem spec runflat tyres and move to non runflats the difference wont be so noticable.
