    The Pirelli P-Zero’s are much better than the all season Pirellis
that you received with your car.  IN addition, if you’re worried about
performance at all, something that approximates the size of a 235 or
245/40 with 17" or 18" tires would be more appropriate.  AC Schnitzer and
Racing Dynamics make decent wheels for your car.

    You could probably get by with some 235/40 17" Pirelli P-Zero’s.  AC
Schnitzer makes 18" wheels for your car also.

A 205/60 is a more popular size and is the same height. I stay away from
the Pirelli, I had so many problems with the original’s on my 1990 325i.
I like the Michelin better.
