Oh, right...almost forgot. Saridi and KU530 both have 20" staggered wheels on their xi. If that doesn't tell you it can be done, I don't know what will.
Sorry guys. Didn't mean to forget you.![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)

I assume you have an xi as well? If so, then yes. However, just to make sure, I would click on this link and take the wheel part numbers down, so you can confirm with your dealer.

You also may want to consider doing this:
1) Get the car with the standard 17" or 18" wheels that come with the car. Use these wheels as your winter set-up, by swapping out the tires for Blizzaks, such as I have done. I use the 18" 123 stock wheels that came with the car as my winter wheels.
2) Order the new, staggered 124 wheels from Garry Romani of BMW of Newport (Rhode Island). He is the Parts Manager and gives E60.net members a 25% discount. If you go this route, again, confirm the part numbers with him to make sure he understands you have the xi and NOT the RWD model.
And if you still want to make sure, ask the dealer or Garry (depending on which route you go), what the offset of those wheels are. If he says ET43 for the front and ET 55 for the rear, you are good to go.
Make sense?
