After years of experience and returned wheels (even BMW specific models) you cannot trust anyone but Tire Rack to know which wheels will clear those sport calipers.

Ouch - I'd get the BMW logos for these wheels. Tirerack puts them on when you buy them for $6 each. You can probably do it after the fact.

Finish reading my post: "Don't forget to ask for wheel center roundels (free); mine arrived after I took these shots."

I use 17" ASA wheels on my 545 sport and Semperit Speed Grip (speed rated snows that are inexpensive) and they are great; now on their third season. I don't ski anymore, but they get me up the hills from the Hudson riverfront every morning. Good luck,

Avoid fussy wheel styles; salt and grit are hard to remove and they deteriorate first in those nooks and crannies.
