It probably would... its VERY VERY close.

the hub diameter is 72.6mm on the m3 and the E60 is 72.56mm IMO thats close enough. 0.04mm is nothing... I'm not even sure if the precision on the machines for cars are even that accurate? or is it? *shrugs* maybe for airplanes...

Even better, that chart says the M3 rims are exactly the same as the E60. I just know that the E39 was a bastard child with different center hub and MOST other BMWs have the same size hub

Cannot not confirm or deny the chart, but I will say DON'T listen to your dealer! When I first saw the style 135 rims and wanted them for my car, I was told over and over that they don't fit the E60 because in the catalog for various wheels they had at the dealer, the style 135 wheels were listed for the 3 series and not the 5 series. Eventually a dealer in Houston, while I evacuated to following Katrina, sorted it out and determined that there was a style 135 wheel to fit the E60.
