If you are cautious and try your best to go around huge potholes you should be fine. This is provided you havent lowered the car and played around with the springrate/bushings.

Try driving a old vintage porsche with delrin/polyurthane bushings, higher front spring rates, and bigger torsion bars in the winter. Nothing can be worse than that, except maybe driving an old model t.
I was going to go with 17" BBS SR, but didn't want to shell out $1500 (rims + tires + shipping + mounting). Especially since I don't know whether I'll keep my car or upgrade to the m240i or M2 after my lease is over.
Just an FYI those particular rims fit on a lot of cars. I have them for my 235 but did confirm that they will work on an S3 for instance.
I believe the 3/4 series has different figment though, which could be another possibility
