Very nice mate! I have gone straight from the 17s to the M Sport 19s you have, can't wait for them to arrive and get them on!

Good choice.

They do transform the look of the X3. Comfort wise I think they are more comfortable than the 18" and so similar to the 17" that you won't notice (unless yours is a sport?).

They also seem better for road holding to me but that could be a placebo effect.

That's good to know bud! Mine is just a 2.0d SE, my last car was on 215 35 19 tyres and coilovers wound all the way down, heard that the suspension on the X3 is a bit harsh but feels like luxury to me :P
