My Ride: 2006 E60 525i
Sorry to make another sport package thread.
I have the wheel in the pic below and was curious as if they are the correct wheels for the 2006 sport package?
I have the shadow line trim and the sport seats with the electronic adjustable thigh bolster so i think those 2 alone confirm i have sport package as well as the dealer pulling it from my VIN. its jut that my wheels dont look very sporty, they are only 17's ad look the same as every other 5 series i see that has chrome trim. Maybe the 2006 doesnt come with special wheels wit the sport package and that was changed on the 2008 models but i would like to be sure.

No, this is not the correct wheel for sport package. But sports seats and shadowline trim alone don't confirm that you have sport package. Full sport package adds also lower ride height, different bumpers and door sills with M logo. And correct wheel for original sport package is 18 inch Style 135:

Okey, in that case I think I was talking about M-sport package. Must be different packages then.

No, not the right wheels. The 2006 sports package comes with 7 spoke wheels, 18 inches. Somebody traded his regular wheels for your originals.
