no difference in sizes between models, an E60 is an E60 regardless. The only difference is the M5 that has a slightly different fender but it still doesn't matter because most people opt out of the M5 offset for the M6 offset which allows the rear tire to sit out farther and more flush with the fender, (which looks WAY better).
Most popular pics for rims are OEM M167's or the Miro replicas, 172s, the OEM M166 rims, and some love the OEM 128's. A lot of people also love the VMRs.
What you want is at least a 19" rim with an M6 offset.
Tires:
Front 245/35/19
Rear 275/30/19
Also, familiarize yourself with the search function here. It is a very useful tool to find so many topics just like this that have already been asked in the past with many replies, etc.

thank you for your nice information , do you have some pics from the rims ? plus do you recommended 19" rims or 18" rims on 520i ?
I'd go 19's and keep your stock rims for the Winter. I only have pictures of my car with the 166 rims in my gallery. http://forums.e60.net/index.php?autocom=ga...i&img=13879

Note that most wheels are not for the E60.
