Phil its going to be hard to find Genuine Oem 19" in Ireland for sale you sould always go for OEM Csl Rims there was an M3 with them out on the track for the Porsche BDD and they looked the business, not a real market for 18" M3 rims as they can not fit any other car except the M3 so you might be better hanging onto them for track use or for the winter

No don't take trade ins and they are not cheap either and then there is the condition of the rims which you won't get a good look at till they arrive on your door step

Try a dealer first and get a price for new ones and then work from there the guys in Murphy& Gunne Milltown are very helpful so give them a shout first I would recommend getting the CSL rims much nicer (don't get the M3 CS ones they are not the same in design and bulid quality as CSL rims)

Phil
I have an 03 E46 M3 in carbon black. It came with 18"s but like yourself I'm sure, once you see the car with the 19"s, nothing less will do.
I notice you mention "second hand or new" but don't mention price. If price is not relevant then have you tried a BMW main dealer? They can definitely get them for you. They won't accept a trade in but you should be able to get €800-€1000 at least for your own which will lessen the damage somewhat or you could save them for trackdays.
The other thing you can do is to regularly scan the buy and sell or eBay for them. They do crop up from time to time, and I got mine through the B&S.
Cheers

Give conor at phoenix tyres a call, he has a great selection of rims, and seems to be able to source real and replicas for good money.
