My current E61 535d has low profile wheels and it's been the biggest regret of my purchase of that car, with the poor state of the roads here in the UK (potholes galore) they made the ride hard and I've had to replace two wheels due to hitting potholes - so I wanted as much rubber as I could get between the rims and the road :-)

I think the only reason I haven't had to replace more wheels on my 535d is that after the second pot hole incident I purchased 4 x 17" rims with winter tyres which I use in the winter - had to be cheaper than keep buying new 19" wheels!
