My Ride: 2007 530i. Purchased 6/28/07. Titanium Silver Metallic, Black Dakota Leather, Dark Poplar Trim, Steptronic, Premium Package, Cold Weather Package, Bluetooth, Adaptive Control Xenons. 10/30/07 Added OEM 124s with 245/40/18 & 275/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires. Installed red Cal Covers� from BavAuto. 11/21/07 Added OEM all-weather floor mats (for winter, carpet in summer) and coat rack. 6/26/08 installed M5-style rear spoiler. 6/30/08 put on red reflectors. 8/22/08 Euro turn signal stickers applied. 3/20/09 Installed Shadowline Trim. 3/27/09 Added Matte Black Kidney Grilles from Trinity. 4/03/09 Installed Bimmian Shadow Matte Black 530i Badges. 4/04/09 Installed LED license plate lights from Trinity. 5/01/09 Installed Brabus Interior LED Kit and White Angel Eyes. 5/02/09 Put in Brabus 6K Fogs. 5/14/09 Removed charcoal filter. 5/15/09 Installed light smoke LED side marker lamps from Trinity. 5/21/09 Sprint Booster. 6/12/09 Painted exhaust tips flat black. 6/13/09 Pulled red Cal Covers and painted calipers low gloss black. 6/27/09 RPI Ram Air Scoop from Trinity. 8/15/09 Installed Brabus's silver invisibulbs front and rear. 9/24/09 Installed R-Dash license plate LEDs from Brabaus (John).
I've done a couple of searches, but didn't get a direct answer to this question. I apologize if I was not thorough enough, but if it's not too much trouble, could someone please tell me the whether the hub size on a standard (not xi) 530i is 72.56 or 74.1? I anticipate from the thread I saw it is the former, but would like to confirm before I buy. Also, I anticipate it is the same front and rear? Thanks.

I've seen some noted as 72.6. Is it standard practice for wheel manufacturers to round-up these diameters from 72.56 to 72.6? And will that much difference lead to possible vibration issues?

Ok I guess it can get that accurate... but its probably ok for wheels... I dont think wheel balancing can get that accurate... The E39 was one of the VERY few bastard childs that got that weird 74.1mm hub size.

Dont know if its standard practice to round up but we're talking about 0.04mm... thats 40um... 40 micro meters... Can OEM wheel machines get that accurate? hahah we're talking about a wheel manufacture not a military spec airplane Ok I guess it can get that accurate... but its probably ok for wheels... I dont think wheel balancing can get that accurate...

Hahaha... your E39 looks just like my previous car, same year except for the wheels. I had M-parallels but not chrome. Sometimes I wish I would've kept her along with the E60.

Ah c'mon, is the name calling really necessary? He already feels bad that I'm looking to trade him in and now he gotta overhear you calling him a bastard?
