i like M166 better on e60. Both wheels are great but when I got m166 i never regret. They fit the car perfectly

Got to be M5's buddy . Attachment 98410
As luck would have it I have a brand new set of 19 inch rep M5's with brand new tyre on all boxed up sitting in my garage . Bought them as an alternative to my 172 Spiders & the next day found a set of origonal M5's with new tyres so these were purchased and now live on my ride .

Hi Ray . They are still asleep in their boxes in my garage . Wheel sizes
Front : 8.5 x 19 inch with 245 35 19 tyres
Rear : 9.5 x 19 inch with 275 30 19 tyres
The tyres are Nexen N3000
They cost £ 1345 for the complete package so I was looking to ask around £ 900 for them .
I have all the M badges ready to go on the wheels & they have the new centre caps fitted .
I didn't need any spigots or spacers , they just went straight on with no problems. If you want to try them on your car to see if they fit etc... you are most welcome.I am not around this weekend so I'll pick up any messages Sunday evening.
Regards , Martin

166's with M6 offset is by far the best looking OEM wheel option for the e60. Powdercoat them or paint matte black and I just can't think of a better option.

M5 166 wheels suck and are boring. I even have mine powdercoated and they still are boring. It was so bad this winter, I was forced to put my 20's back on. I couldn't take the look.
Get the 167's. Case closed!
