I've decided to go with the Alpin 5s too. I've stopped waiting for TireRack to get decent wheels, and just ordered a set of 826Ms in a 19" setup all around. 9.5 F/ 10.5 R width though. I don't normally go for OEM BMW rims as my winter setup but now I have the best of both worlds since I have the 825Ms as my summer wheels. I'll order the Michelin's separately from TireRack.

I may go down to 265/40R19s for the fronts and 275/35R19s for the rears. Can anyone confirm those tires should fit these rim sizes? They do according to charts I've seen online. And skinnier is supposed to be better for snow.
Does the 826 come in 19x10.5 for rear? I did OE 826 black setup with sottozeros and recall there was some confusion about this for mine, but ultimately determined it was 20x10.5 (like spec from factory) when we got into the details.
