you can try:
255/35/19 275/35/19 if you are stock hight
or OEM sizes.

My wheels are square setup so its 4 rear specs so not sure a 255 would fit that very well/would be stretched in the front

the 275/30/19 does not have enough sidewall for any serious track day event and may not survive the north east roads. The one feature it has is that it is better than 265/30/19. To save you time and money I already tried for you all of the following front sizes:
245/35/19
255/35/19
265/35/19
265/30/19
265/30/19
285/30/19

On the Rear I tried:
265/35/19
275/35/19
295/30/19
305/30/19

All of the above are on 9.5” front and 10.5” rear

Ahhh, yeah. I'm not planning any crazy track events. I wish my 275/30/19 weren't brand new (prior owner put them on with the brand new satin black 359s). I think I'm going to purchase a set of new square 19x10 hyper silver 359's and transfer the tires over, maybe when they go I'll try out different tire sizes and/or pick up a set of two front 359's to lower the width to run a 255/35

Installed the Mr12Volt CarPlay today on my 2013 M3 and my buddies 11 E90 Comp, install went pretty easy once we got the hang of it. Took us an hour and a half on my car while closely following instructions/YouTube and then the second install in 25 mins. Definitely super cool, not sure if its worth the full $420ish price but I am very happy to have CarPlay. It really updates the car and its significantly better looking at idrive for Waze than down at my phone holder near the gear selector.
Got it off Gordon Hui on Facebook and he was 11/10 to work with.

Sharing pics from a little drive we did today after installing the CarPlay, starting to feel like spring!

Took the M3 out to Lime Rock Park this week! Had an absolute blast at the FCP Euro proving grounds autocross. M3 did amazing, it ran super cool and didn't skip a beat. It was raining so I ended up having a little fun sliding the car, first time I've ever "drifted" and the M3 did it with ease. Here's a link to a YouTube video of me sliding around:

Big day today! Picked up a like new set of BBS RI-A's in gold!!! Absolutely stoked about these, love how they look on the Jerez paint. 18x10 et 25 front 18x11 et37 rear, 265/35/18 295/30/18 Michelin PS4S's, no spacer front 12.5 spacer rear, lowered on Eibach springs on EDC. Would love it slightly lower but honestly very happy/it looks the same gaps as my 359 19x10 setup and zero rubbing. The 219M's with spacers rubbed a lot in the front so very happy that these BBS don't rub and are significantly wider.
