Recommended wheel offset for a 2000 328i

I think you should be ok since the rims are not that wide. I have the same offset on my M3, but my rims are 19x10 at the rear. You will definately feel a stiffer ride moving from 17" to 19". Idealy 18" would offer a better balance between the two in terms of handling, 19" would definately look better if that is your intended goal.
BTW what rims are you getting and from where?

Tom,
I have my eye on some Axis Milano wheels. You can check them out here http://www.axiswheels.com/milano.html. I've wanted a wheel that has some chrome on them, easy to maintain, and has a nice lip. As far as where I am going to get them, I haven't decided. I did find someone on Ebay out of Los Angleles that has some new sets for 1160 + $80 s/h for the set.

You will just notice a more harsh ride...the bumps will be more jarring. The steering wheel may feel a bit heavier as well. Also make sure to check your tire pressures often...every 4 weeks is the recommendation for checking tire pressures. You want to have the perfect amount of pressure as you will feel a difference in handling, even if the difference is only 2psi.
I have a questiont, though...what about your brakes? Are your brakes able to handle the increased rolling mass of the bigger wheels? Usually, when you make a significant wheel size upgrade for your car, it is recommended that you check out if your brakes will handle it okay.
