I was more inclined towards the 20" but I am not getting RF tires but just non RF ones. Hence 19".

Tire rack shows widths for 19" wheels : 19x8 and 19x9 both as O.E. Diameter. On BMW official catalog they show 19x9j to keep it universal to work with larger Msport brakes I think. I don't have the Msport brakes.
Any comments if I chose 19x8? Most of 19x9 are unavailable and sold out. Tire rack mentioned both of them will work and have been tried and tested and hence listed for my vehicle. Just wanted to know if you have any comments....
I have just one comment on that. If you sell the car it is probably easier to sell 19x9 rather than 19x8 as more people have the M-brakes.
