Hi:
I had a 330ci E46 before and now I have the 525i E60.
I'm going to buy the snow tires set for my E60.
I just did some research about he bolt pattern size, and I found this:
http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse...._Reference.cfm
as the list shown, the 3 series and 5 series have the same size pattern -- 5x120 -- like M3 and 530i.. ???
so does mean that I can put 3 series rims set on my E60 5 series now..
is this true?
please give me the advise before I go buy one.

no you got it right. e46 and e60 have the same bolt pattern but have different offsets.
what is offset?

Maybe you can sell your 3 series wheels to someone needing a wheel set for the xi e60. Many of them will fit and work well. Use the cash to buy a proper set for your RWD 5Series. Tirerack has wheel and tire combos for winter. Shop thru the link in my signature to earn cash rebates there and other on-line stores.

thanks guys.
Actually, I'm looking for a set of M5 rims which mounting with snow tires on it,
now, at least I know that the rims on 3 series after 2001 can't fit on the 5 directly.

THat will be quite costly. I know this guy who has a set of 18s replica M5 wheels with blizzaks on them selling for $500 for the set. U need to pick it up in Greenwich, CT though. 19" snow tires arent exactly the cheapest.
