I doubt you will find a 3-series on RFTs to be an improvement. My '11 on 17" OEM Continental RFTs rides worse than my M235i on non-RFT Pilot Sports. And RFTs are MUCH worse for bending wheels than non-RFT. With nearly no give in the sidewalls, the force of an impact has to go somewhere - right to the rim of the wheel.
My suggestion would be to get a set of 17" wheels with non-RFT tires. The taller sidewalls will help a great deal. Much cheaper than replacing the car.
