I think the 530's sport wheels are awesome and nicer looking than the 545's. They seem to fit the car better. Yes, I know the 545 has the bigger rear wheels and 530's won't. Just wished you could order the 545 with same wheels as on the 530.

try to trade them at your dealer, at worst they may give you partial credit toward the style 123's, they are nicer than the 124's , imho
im still holdin out for the 135M's though

Are you talking about these?
Here in SA we can get them on the 545i for an extra $1000 (US)

After considering the expense to upgrade the wheels and all the stuff that comes standard on the 545..... I really think it was those wheels that caused me to order the 545. Granted non of the E60 wheels are bling bling....... but at least the 545 sport wheels have some style. Just MHO.

IMHO, I like the sport wheels on the 545 much better, that and all the other stuff that comes standard is one of the reasons I ordered the 545 vs. the 530. The sport wheels on the 530 remind me of the wheels on my 2001 325i. They're ok but the 545 I think are much nicer.

One thing for sure is you can really never expect to agree on wheels between one person and another.... sort of like watches..........

My Ride: E60 "Stripper"
Now C6 "Stripper"
I think the 123's "look" bigger and make the E60 more Bling Bling from a side view.
But, if you want the 275 sized fat looking tires from the rear you gotta go 124's
