M Sport pkg with Upgraded to 19" CSL Wheels!

I finally decided to upgrade my tires and wheels, even though my X1 M Sport is brand new. It came with Good Year efficient grip runflat summer tires as I have the sport package AND M Sport, so I had to change to all season anyways.

So here's what I did:
- change the 18" wheels and runflat tires to 19" wheels and non runflat all seaons tires
- selected Continental Extreme Contract DWS 225-40-19 front 255-35-19 rear (staggered)
- selected CSL replica wheels with BMW and M logo installed

Other 19" wheel setup I've seen looked a bit odd, because the tires/wheels "look too thin" and too narrow, but for some reason, they look fine on my setup. While it would be great to lower the car a bit, it looks fine the way it is and I love the overall look.

The handling/ride/quietness from the non runflat 19" are very similar to BMW's OEM runflat 18"s, but the new Conti 19"s are slightly more comfortable and quieter without sacrificing any handling at all. Overall, I like the non runflat 19"s better.

Here are photos of both before with 18s and after with 19s.
