I would prefer the look of 19's but these are real LM's that were left over from my M3. I didn't want to take a bath selling them when I had to let my M3 go because of back problems. 18's are also lighter than 19's and the extra 0.5 inch of sidewall gives a better ride on crappy MA roads.

They are 18x8.5 F and 18x10 R

I found E46 M3's offset to be front 32 and rear 25 (for 19" not sure about 18") but LMs for E60 should be 17 and 25 respectively (again for 19").

The offset looks a bit different?

I run spacers and longer bolts to adapt the M3 offset to E60.

Keen eye...
I run spacers and longer bolts to adapt the M3 offset to E60. 15MM F and 12MM R. The rears are BBS hub centric that act like a spacer and hub centric ring combined. They work really well.
NO vibration and the suspension seems to work so much better with all the weight reduction from going with Forged wheels and normal tires vs Cast OEM and Run Flats (black round rocks
)

As long as they function well, I think the offset is just for visual reference.
