Out of your shortlist I would choose the M359s. But it depends if you want the OEM look.

Spoke design is slightly different the two spokes on the csl go into each other slightly and the profile of the spokes going in to the middle of the rim is different, the m359 are more concave

Me too. I can't tell the difference between M359 and CSL.

I would go M359.

I don't like the BBS, they look a bit gansta.

In my opinion, the M359s look the best out of the three.

M359.

More modern design of the CSL, more concave, more angular, suits the E9X better, as it's a wheel of the same generation. CSL is an early 2000 style wheel.

Good shout. I was planning on getting it lowered and having the tracking done aswell i just dont know whether to go just springs or coilovers. What kits would you recommend? And it looks like it will be the m359s seen a 1M yesterday and they were sweet
