Just wondering if they would fit over the brakes?? I'd like to go with the smallest rim possible for the winter on my 04 530i sport. please let me know !! I've heard maybe the brakes are different in the front? But haven't found an answer yet. Really would like to just get the BMW oem wheels from the standard 525i (16" inch) just wondering about fitment.

Yes they do fit.

The pre-LCIs were delivered with the style 134 as a stock option in Finland.

Are you sure they fit on the 530i sport package? They will definitely fit a 530i non sport...

style 134 is the one's i'm referring too thats correct!

the question is the brakes on the sport package on a 2004 530i (pre-LCI) no one has been able to confirm it. The part numbers are different in some cases for the rotors and calipers but the oem part list doesn't list whats for sport or non sport

I might just buy them and try them if no one has an answer and resell them if they don't fit

they are hideous lol but the potholes in NY have been OUTRAGEOUS the past few years so I really wanna go as small as possible with the wheels and high on the profile no more wheel repairs for me! I'm gonna go ahead and buy them and see what happens. if not i'll just resell them. maybe they might just need spacers or something lol who knows
