Yes they fit no problem and they look great. Tires need to be 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear and you will have no issues

I was going to ask the same thing, if they are OEM - do it!!! If they are reps, forget them, there's no telling the quality of reps. They look like they just need a good cleaning ( I HIGHLY recommend P21S wheel cleaner) and they will be good as new.

this is what the guy says in the ad:
Set of 4 BMW 5 Series E60 Genuine Alloys
Front Wheels 19x8.5"
Rear Wheels 19x9.5"
Retail At £2139 without tyres
Michelin Pilot Sport Tyres, All above legal limit
Custom Smoke Chromed
-------
he has a good feedback, so i think il take his word for it, but is there anyway to double check?

It should be stamped behind the wheels if they're OEM, but anyway I think that price is ridiculous as they are used wheels.
I'm not sure if Mark at BMAutosports currently have these, but I would take these from him ASAP.
