Okay,

I need a little confirmation. I was told by a national rim shop that my e60 (prod 7/04) had a 74 hub bore. To my knowledge, the only bmw with that bore size is the e39. Can someone please confirm, whether my hub is 74 or 72.

e60 = 72.56mm. You can use the 74.1 with a hub ring, though.

Yup the E39 is the only odd ball with that size. Almost every other BMW is 72.
