 Featured on BIMMERPOST.com If there was ever a reason why the 20" tires are a thing; this is it. Those 19" tires are probably toast.

wow! you can definitely see some wear on those rear tires on a few of the shots, expecially the sidewall area
 She made the drifting look too easy.

But that is a good demonstration of why you need those 20" wide tires if you want performance. Those were 19 inches she was smoking up. Don't do that at home?

There is the options of going for 19" with performance tires or at least i have that option in Sweden, It should be more traction if needed but also the penalty hit to the range is also quite a lot so then you drop from 510 km to 462 km and upgrading to the 20" you drop down to 426 km.
But i will keep my 19" inch none performance tires, i tested the m50 earlier this week and it was on 18" inch nordic winter tyres and it was around -2c outside yet it gripped like a mad man so that is nice.

She's having a lot of fun!
I'll be getting the wide 20s. Depending on how much I love the car, I might get some forged wheels to lighten things up a bit. Make go with a square setup and add a wheel arch to the front as well. I'd really like to see the M60 version, but I bet it's going to be a while. |

 I am not sure 20" vs. 19" matters in this use case, as both will be toasted anyway. |
