Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum, and I will be looking to purchase a 545i sometime this summer. I wanted to know if anyone has, or have seen a E60 with M Parallels, especially in 19". I really like those wheels, but I've only seen them on the E39. Plus I like a lip on wheels.

Thank you for your time.

They were a great wheel but I'm pretty sure the E60 hub is a different size, there will no doubt be a replica available somewhere that will fit , but then it's still a replica..................

Yes they were great. I knew the original wheel wouldnt' fit, and I know that they came in an 18", and I was asking about 19", which indeed would have been a replica. Just haven't seen any E60 with them. Wanted to know if they would look as good on a E60, as a E39.

Thanks man!

That thread confused even me. It seems as if the term "M-Parallel" got confused between different wheels. It originally referred to the style 37 wheel (in my sig pic) that came on the e38 sports. The thread posted above someone mentioned putting them on his X5 but that they were a pain to clean (contrary to the fact that the 37's are extremely easy to clean) so I think he may have been talking about putting on his X5 the style 65 wheels which were standard on the e39 M5's in the shadow chrome finish. Then also there's the style 66 which came on some e39 540 sports.

Style 37

Style 65

Style 66
