I am looking for information on BBS LM Champion Edition wheels for my 535 xi (E61). I would like to know what offsets I would need to make the wheels sit EXACTLY like the pics below. I want to run 19's but if these are 20's in the pics I could be convinced to run those. I would also like to know if anybody here has a contact to purchase the wheels, not looking for a deal just the availability to get it in the States. Contacts overseas are not a problem if you have dealt with them before. So please share your knowledge of offsets and any other information you may think pertinent to my decision. By the way, lowering the car is probably not an option for me as this car will be used in inclement weather. Thanks in advance for your help guys.

I had heard that all of the BBS LM Champion Edition has been sold out. Regarding to the offset, I believe the E46 offset will be fine on E60 xi-model

All gone! Say it isn't so. Somebody has to have some.

Sorry to show my ignorance, but what offset are the E46, meaning what numbers?

Member freed0m has been looking for these wheels too without much success. (I see you reading this freed0m..haha).

BTW, there's no such thing as inclement weather in CA!

Yeah, I tried PMing him for his source. He said in another thread he was ordering from Korea I believe.

Well, slightly inclement. We have a place up in Big Bear and we like to snowboard.

Better put a clear bra on your car for those snowboarding trips buddy.

I used to go to Tahoe quite a bit and would put the leather bra on our MDX.

Sorry, off topic.

Hi Bud, sorry for the slow reply... I am out on business in the East Coast at the moment and checking the forums from by iPhone, I can read stuff but typing on it is a PITA Once I'm back to the Bay Area this weekend I'll send you the details I'm waiting on a couple of things before ordering them, If you're serious about them and are interest... I can see if we can get a deal for ordering 2 set.

Just make sure those offsets Bud will work. The xi needs very high offsets, similar to that of the E46 (ET35-ET40). That's an expensive purchase if they won't fit, but then again, I'm sure every RWD member on this forum would take these off your hands in a heartbeat, including iPhone man himself...you know, the weird guy that posted right above me.
