Just out of interest, how do M's run on 19's? A set of copy CSL's would be nice but are they more for looks?

No rubbing, good comfort, great looks!

My own take - 19's are too much wheel for this car. Looks too big to my eye. And unless you have outstanding roads, there's no way I'd consider 19's as you'll get beaten to death over anything but the smoothest surfaces.
BMW chose well when they opted to put 18's on this car IMHO.

Visually the car looks like it was made for CSL's. Otherwise so many folk wouldn't do it. Better looks while still being seen to use an authentic BMW sports car wheel. The 18's felt pretty good on my first few potholed adventures. I think I will wait until I can get a passenger ride in someone elses to decide. I would hate to start rattling the trim off.
It's all personal opinion of course, but I think the 19" wheels look too big on a Z4M, especially the roadster but I think the Z4 in general is overwheeled on 19" rims.
My personal opinion is that you need a big car for 19" wheels to work. Otherwise it all begins to look a bit 'chav' for me.
The CSL reps look good but as a wheel design not as a wheel size in relation to the car. I did see some 18" CSL style wheels on a Z4MC and thought they looked really good.
That all said, my personal opinion is that the standard wheels look good particularly painted black if that goes with the colour of the car. I have an Imola Red Z4MC and am thinking of painting my 224M wheels satin black rather than going for 19" wheels.
