Welcome to the forum, Lee!
Please, search the site.
Have to admit, most the E60's with 172's are M Sport.
PS. I just ordered a set of 172's with Dunlop Maxx's.
I will send in a pic soon...

Got mine and fitted, one word... awesome! changed the look of the whole car 
I got mine from BM Autosport. They are M172 reps but I can't tell the difference and all this garbage about rep wheels vibrating etc. which I was concerned about is to me utter crap. Ordered them at 4pm on Tuesday and they were at my house on Wednesday. Popped the old ones off put the new ones on and hey presto! No vibration at all at any speed and they feel the dog dangly bits!

Thanks for the pics, but...
The car in those pics is a "US sport model", a GB SE do not have the sport suspension.
The SE is about an inch higher.
Getting my 172's next week.
No sport suspension either.

No vibration at all at any speed and they feel the dog dangly bits!What tires did you purchase?
The BM Autosport site says:
"They are 8.5inc front et 20 and deep 9.5inc wide rear et20" ?? But only ?550 !
"Can be fitted with brand new Avon ZZ3 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear tyres for extra ?450." ??
The OEM M 172's ET's are front 18 and rear 32!
Yhe tire size is front 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 rear!

There site is wrong, they are 18 front and 32 rear!
Tyres are correct, I guess you could have either size you prefer though?
