Hello,

today i noticed something: i think the 4 wheel drive E60s have other 135 style rims than the normal types.
I would want to verify that with some others.

On the picture you see that on the left om the BMW sign there is like 135/X (zoom in on the first and you will see)
So that means--> other rims or am i wrong?

I think that too because my rims are like flat and i think i saw another ///m style bmw in the showroom (a 520d with more a 'hole in the middle like the M5 166s have' (cant really explain it in English...)

Could someone please post some pics in the same angle of my rims please?

Here are the pics:

the 135's for the X-drive cars have a different offset.

The standard 135 are on a 20mm offset and the x-version 135's have an offset of 43mm.

The word you have been looking for earlier, is that the standard 135 spokes look more concave.
And you are correct, due to the offset, your's are flatter.

So it won't be possible to get 166 style ///M5 rims on my ride or what? And yes, concave was the word i was looking for

it's not on the options list.

Have a look at www.realoem.com
enter the last 7 digits of your VIN and it should show you what is available from BMW for your car

Well i don't love hearing this since i love the ///M5 rims so much...
But really thanks for the usefull replies.
I will check the VIN number later on

EDIT: i already found this. Comparision of the 525i and 525xi and yes indead different offsets. Thanks olli but still that is really annoying. Is there something to do about it?

525i
525xi

i think that you should be able to find 166 with an offset that is good for x models.I ve seen some people that have fitted 19'' on x models.But i am not sure if they are replicas or original.I will try to get some pictures for you
