I verified with my dealer...on the XI models, at least my 06 530xiT, the offset is 43 front and rear.
Most E46 models, except M model, have an offset of anywhere between 40 and 47. Since it is measured in millimeters, anyone of those should fit without issue. I have also heard that X3 and X5 wheels should work also.
Older 5 series wheels wont work since they have a very low offset, 15 to 25, and the size of the hub bore is also bigger than any other BMW wheels. E39's have a bore of 74.1 and other BMW's have a hub bore of 72.56

Not true, I have an E39 with OEM m parallel rims, When I sold the car, I kept the rims, I put it on my E60 for a few weeks before I decided to go with M166 OEM rims. You do need to put a hub ring atleast in the front to prevent vibration on your steering wheel. Attached are pics.
