New Wheels- 2011 E90 335i xdrive

Well I just got my car about 2 months ago. Its Deep Sea Blue/Oyster fully loaded xdrive with nav, sports, convenience, winter packages. Bascially everything I could add outside of Mtech as I will add those pieces on my own. Only mods to date are painted reflectors (thanks LTBMW), M3 spoiler, hardwired radar, aFe scoops, tints and now wheels!
Big thanks to Alan and Gilbert at **********s for setting me up with the M3 reps that were backordered. They were able to overnight me the TPMS along with the aFe air scoops so I could get them installed promptly. They are 19" staggered setup, and for tires I went with Continental DWS all-season 235/35/19 & 265/30/19.
They fit excellent and the ride is actually better than the stock setup. I know there's a huge gap (Xdrive doesn't include sport suspension) though I haven't decided if I want to drop it yet or not as Michigan winters/potholes, along with my 90 mile a day drive to work can be pretty unforgiving. So for now I am just enjoying them the way they are.
Again, big thanks to the crew over at **********s for all the help once again. Sorry for the iPhone pics.
Let me know what you think!
Regards,
Chris

Looks good, you should drop it, it shouldn't affect the ride quality too negatively if you don't slam it.

Well yes. I had the unfortunate experience of having one of the first builds of 2010 so I had basically the trans dropped and clutch replaced twice at starting 3k miles (still never right), water pump failure, steering issues, hood latch which was causing service engine light to go off, and various other little things that just left a sour taste. They were all replaced under warranty which they then extended, but I decided it was best to get out while I was ahead and the car still had decent value to it. I wanted to try something different but I'm a BMW guy at heart and although Audi is stepping up on many levels, the refinement just isn't there and I wouldn't go back.
Thanks for the kind remarks!

Looks ridiculous without a drop. Suspension before wheels, always. Oh, and you're missing a pedal.

Yea, before I got the 335i I ventured into the Audi B8 forums to check what kind of great things the new owners of the B8 had to say. The first page was filled with threads complaining about new problems. Then I came running back to e90post and got the 335i eventually.

Im very sorry to hear that. I was looking into b8 s4 and just never got around to driving it. driven b5-b6-b7 but not b8 so to hear you say that your e90 335i has more refinement and overall luxurious driving experiance reassures me I made the right decision getting a BMW.

Yes all my previous cars were manuals until my daily commute changed to almost 100 miles a day with traffic. That had taken nearly all the enjoyment of the manual away for me so I keep the bike for the weekend cruises and use the car for its primary purpose, get me to work and back safely and efficiently.

Nice look! Any issues with the x-drive and staggered wheels? I've heard rumors about that being a problem, as you have to run different tires.
