Congratulations on your M3. IMO The car looks great with the 18s. 18s are very practical: good for comfort, pretty good on the track and less prone to curb rash. Unless of course you want to go for being visually different than stock.

As far as German is concerned here is something to think about:

Germans: "Der M drei ist hier" would be correct since Germans use masculine gender to refer to cars.

English Speakers, Greeks and Italians: Refer to a BMW using the feminine gender. Go figure
Good to know. The French also use the feminine gender for cars. I guess it's a Mediterranean thing.

I'm going to keep the 18's, at least for a while. I think they're OK (I'm not really crazy about either OEM type, but the 18's color goes well with Silverstone), and the DC area is part of "the land that public works forgot".
