PTH,

IMO, the E38 looks better with 18" wheels. I have both, the 18's for most of the year, & the 17's (BBS RX fitted with Pilot XGT's for use in the snow). I suggest 18" wheels because tire selection will be larger and tire rotation hight will be closer to 27.4" which is optimal.

See link below for pics of my car. The wheels are 18"

Just my .02 worth.

PS: That warranty babble from the dealer is bullshit. If the BMW Wheel Accessory catalogue indicates a certain wheel is available for your chassis, it will have a specific E38 part # and therefore will NOT affect your warranty, as the wheel would have Munich's approval. Select a set of wheels from either the dealer catalogue or an aftermarket manufacturer. If you go aftermarket, I recommend a company with "TUV" certification.
