It was my first impression too when I looked around last summer then contacted ALT Wheels while checking 'bout the weight, offset & hub size they said the offset was a typo... and I checked the back of the front set it has ET35 printed on it. Maybe I'll take some side view pics later...

I am looking at Bekkers website and it is showing the Miro 346 19" is available in ET38, not ET35 like you say. 
I might have gotten these myself had I known about them prior to my CSL purchase...grass always greener....

You mean the Miro? Mine is staggered setup w/ the exact same size as yours just w/ slightly smaller offsets.

Too bad these don't come in a wider rear for staggered.

DrLev99 - Did go with the Generals.
Wheels, Tires, Mount, and Balance shipped for $1650....Had the Mkit, Hoen's, and M trunk finisher also installed last week so it is probably time to post some pics. Thanks for all the help with info that both you and C have provided. The car really looks a lot better.

OK, here are the low angle side view pics (sorry the car is rather dirty):
Looking toward the front from the rear right:
Rear spec = 9.5" x 19" - ET40 w/ 275/30-19 GE-UHP @ +/- 50 lbs
Looking toward the back from the front left:
Front spec = 8.5" x 19" - ET35 w/ 245/35-19 GE-UHP @ +/- 48 lbs
Looking toward the front from the rear right:
Rear spec = 9.5" x 19" - ET40 w/ 275/30-19 GE-UHP @ +/- 50 lbs
Looking toward the back from the front left:
Front spec = 8.5" x 19" - ET35 w/ 245/35-19 GE-UHP @ +/- 48 lbs

I've made up my mind and want to go with 20" Miro 346's staggered set up. Bekkers.com dosn't have the 20"s with the right ET for my XI. Does anyone know where I can find them? They must ship to Canada. If I can't find the 20"s I'm going to go with the 19"s.

AFAIK Miro 346 in 20" only available in low offset setup for the RWD cars I think ET20/25...
If you sticking w/ 20" you might wanna try Miro 347 instead that has proper high offset for the XI I think ET40/38 but if I remember correctly in staggered setup the front is 'bout 10 lbs and the rear 'bout 13 lbs heavier than Miro 346.
Also, make sure you're gettin' the right tire size from the link you got it's good for E90 (3-series) as you notice the site title, I think for ours the wider tire size add the cost:

but w/ the RWD offset so you need to mix-n'-match w/ that seller and also don't forget to add TPM sensors or swap w/ the ones from your current setup.

I would go with the 19's for this particular wheel.
