have 20 inch Beyern Mesh's with a lip and my car is lowered on H&R's. I think they look too small.

The 19's look really nice on the E60. When I purchased my 530i it was rolling on brand new 18 " run flats and at the time I couldn't afford to replace them, however when they wear out they will be replaced with 19's and I'll have a set of 18" MRR GT-1's wheels for sale.

RIght on. To me, the 172s are the most beautiful and distinctive looking of any of the OEM wheels made for the E60. Here in New York City, 20s are a non-starter due to our beaten up roads.

Here's mine with 19" MRR GT1's. I've since sold these and now have the same but in 20's.
With a deep lip the 19's look small....really small IMO.
I really like the 172s....but can't find OEMs for a reasonable price, only reps.

20" will feel harsh if you have heavy wheels and thin (30F/25R) tires. my 20's are nice and light (less unsprung weight) and there is enough rubber (35F/30R) to provide a comfortable ride 
aesthetics wise.... all else being the same, 20's will always look better than 19's on an E60, IMO.
