yes I wondered that same thing. I believe that's how my car is coming?
Having a non staggered set up makes some sense in my opinion - you get the lovely arch filling capabilty of a 19" rim with a slightly higher profile at the rear which can only help with the ride.

My Ride: 2006 550i Titanium Silver, Black Dakota Leather, Aluminum Cube Trim, M Sport Pkg, Premium Pkg, Comfort Access, Head Up Display, Steptronic, Comfort Seats, Rear Heated Seats, Through Load, Park Distance Control, Navigation , HK Logic 7, etc
In Canada the M Sport package is 7500.00 and comes with the 172M rims! Should look great! Does 245/35R-19 front and 275/30R-19 rear sound right? Not exactly sure but I believe that is the specs. I'm going to need advice on which style OEM or aftermarket wheels, and the best winter tires as well!

Yes, but my problem is I need a different set of wheels and tires for winter! I was hoping to get away without buying them this year, but the car should be here mid february and alas we will still have snow on the ground!

As previously stated thanks to those that answered my previous posts and queries.
Well, here it is. I am thrilled with this car except the freakin' BTooth; it reconnects my 8800 after an initial pairing then engine off/ restart but i canno make a caal, in fact it seems to disconnect (from the car) while connecting the call leaving the iDrive 'hanging'; any thoughts/ tips very much appreciated?????????
Oh BTW, dealer gave me a brief spin in an M5 before picking the car up; what a comedy car that is, it's just a bloody weapon!!!! Wish i could find the AU$1/4 Mill for one :-)
Still, the 5er suits me down to the ground.
Cheers
Thommo

Very very nice! Car is nice, but Sydney is even more nice!
I've lived there for one year, my favourite city in the world!
