The car is definitely lighter on it's feet and handles like a dream. Incidentally, I have a set of 17's (everything else the same except ET38) on my 2005 330xi 6MT (sport), and they, not surprisingly, fit fine too.
those are either ET38 or ET45, which did you get? they don't make an ET40.
just curious why you went to a 245/40/18? those are almost an entire inch larger than stock.
they look great, by the way!
