What a difference. The ride is notably better, smoother, I can hardly detect any difference between comfort and sport now, both ok, whereas before comfort was still too hard for me. The sport setting is probably as compliant or better than comfort was before. The steering feels better too, strangely the car feels lighter? Downside is the road noise from bad surfaces is about the same, to be expected as they have very similar (loud) noise ratings. The difference in weight of these wheels is surprising, The 437's notably lighter to carry, in fact a very light wheel/tyre for the size of them.

I also think the car looks far better, the black 437's with a white car look fantastic rather than chav bling of the 666's. Being able to see the brakes for one. They won't be going back on! Dilemma is what tyres to fit when I wear out the PSS's? PS4, GYA3 are top of my list.
I have a 18 M3 ZCP and I'm also thinking of swapping my 666s for possibly the 763m's.

I've never tracked my cars and don't plan to, so it's mostly for daily driving. Is there a significant difference switching 20's to 19's? Just want to make sure it's worth it, I love my 666's but prefer a more comfortable ride.

I swapped my 666s for 19s and MP4S. The ride is much more compliant at least to me. Less harsh when going over metal plates on the road. I went with Richland Forge GT4 wheels which are similar to the 763Ms design. The tire size is the default 19" size, I did not upsize them.

Ordered my base M3 with 513m. Use these for winter duty. Made the mistake of buying 666m with MPSS, they may look "flashy" but the ride is terrible on these Tri-State roads. Ended up getting a 19"/20" 763m setup. The 19s up front improve the ride greatly as do the MPSS4s.
