What rims for my E84 2010

Hello,

I would like other people's opinion what rim to put under my black X1.
Picture here is my X1 with the stock 320 style 8Jx18" (ET30), this will be my winter set.

Don't know if I should go for the 405 M 8jx20" (ET36 so probably need spacers because they go 6mm inwards) from the F30 (3series) with 225/35/20 rubbers
on

or to go for

the 463 style 8,5Jx21" (ET25 is perfect, they go 2mm inwards and come 12mm more to the outside) from the F01 (7series) but with 245/25/21 rubbers (only 1,1mm smaller wheel diameter) instead of the normal 245/35/21 because the wheel will be to big otherwise.

Price difference is no problem. Should be nice under my car and 1 thing to consider is the weight of the rims on my 23d xdrive auto gearbox (260hp/470nm).

18" -> 12kg
20" -> 11kg
21" -> 17kg

My brains tells me to go for the 405M's (my car will be faster with those and it is better for my xdrive) and my heart tells me to go for the 463's (any idea if the xdrive and gearbox will survive this? would I lose a lot of acceleration?).

All input is welcome!
I can't mount any of this rims on my car just to look.
If anyone's bored and want to do some Photo-shop, be my guest.

After I got the rims mounted on the car I will see if I would go for a M suspension (no lowering, only stiffer) or a -30mm Bilstein/Eiback kit.

Kind regards,
Bart

I'm not good in it but here is a Paint-shop try for the 405 M's since this is the logical choise, I think, because of the weight of the rims, to be safe on the transmission.

My heart still saying 463 style. All friend tell me those are the best looking.
I can't find 245/25/21 tires but 245/30/21 exist what means that the wheel is 10mm higher then de stock 18".

That my car will be a bit slower with the heavier wheel and wider tire is 1.
But still not sure what it would do with the xdrive.

245/30/21 on 8,5Jx21" will not fit on the X1.
Not in the front wheel fender.

405M's with wheel spacers and -25mm suspension it is.

Appointment for the fitments is 27/05.
That day we will see what size my wheel spacers should have (maximum to be legal and not rubbing anything) to look brutal.
