I've never seen them on an E60. Only on an E90 and E91. They just look way to Audi A8 for me and as such, out of place on a BMW. In Germany you see this style of rim on lots of modded Audis, ranging all the way from A3 to TT, as well as on VW Golfs or Beetles -- basically anything from the Audi-VW group.
Shame really, because the ones posted above are pretty hot rims and OEM. Just my $0.02!!

not only do they look like audi alloys, they are very very sensitive to scratches and stone chips because of the shiney surface, let alone all the damage one can do when parking with such alloys

I saw them on a new 535i with Mtech kit at a BMW dealership inSanta Monica. they looked better than I thought they would but a very custom look not really very "BMW like". Seemed to fill the wheels wells nice, don't know if they were using spacers or not.
