have a 535d also! hmmm not a fan of those wheels (styling)! dunno what kind of wheels to try! The M pack 18's 135 are perfect! Now if those wheels were on 19's than that would be divine!

BMW Park Lane have an E60 on the 19" non run flat tyres. Wasn't that impressed with them in pictures, but in real life they look great ! Also I believe Merv said that the ride is better than in the run flat 18". 6 weeks until I collect mine, and counting !

Welcome Aptul

Agree its a great car! Yes there are faster better sounding cars but the 535d sport is one in a million.

I'm personally not a fan of the type of wheel you're thinking of fitting as I think they look a bit "Halfords". If it was me and I was going from the stock OEM wheels to 19's I would go for imitation M5 wheels as they look meant for the car. No offence and only my opinion. Good luck and enjoy the force.

Thanks for your reply.not keen on the 19" oem 172`s,I like the New M5 wheels but can only get replicas not sure on quality,Tried getting originals from Bmw but need chassis no,going to stick with BBS at least you know that they are quality wheels i bought some Alpina wheels thro Bmw for my e39 and they were made by BBS.
What do you think of the Following BBS wheels,LM,RX2,RS-GT (RS-GT come in black dont think they will stand out on Carbon Balck car)
