Would I be doing myself a disservice by going for a set of 194m 17" wheels? I heard they're exceptionally heavy when compared to the 193m.
Also I was just thinking if it would be worth it to purchase some lightweight 16x7 then run 205/55/16 as 16" should clear the 325i brakes.
Or were 16 inch rims only aimed towards winter tyres + 4 cylinder e90's?
Sorry about all these questions again.

Sounds like the previous owner cracked one of the rears and just replaced it with either a front they purchased or a full size spare they had. That is weird, but not necessarily uncommon with negligent car owners.
Just depends what you want/easiest for you. If you really can't find an affordable single rear, just get another front and run a squared setup. 17" wheels are the lowest I would go if you're looking for any kind of performance. If you're just looking for a cushy daily w/ cheap tires the 16"s would be fine. Seems more trouble than it's worth unless you really want to change your wheels. If I were in your position I would just find a 4th front and run a squared setup.
