Dont do spacers unless you absolutely have to, it completely destroys the ride quality...

ok now I'm confused...

who's part numbers are they??? They are not BMW Part Numbers at least they are not BMW UK part numbers... according to a BMW UK Dealer there is only one offical 19" wheel that you can get for this car..... ???

So who do I quote that part number too??

The dealer "should" be able to look up either type 166 or M5 wheels and come up with the part numbers. When they look up the part number in the ETK they have to choose "M5" as the model (if they choose any other E60 model the 166 wheels will not show up). Here is the page from the BMW ETK that shows this wheel and the part numbers. It seems like the part number for the front wheel ends with a "5" in the ETK, but in the link that ATS posted above as well as carfreak's post it ends with a "4". The part number ending in "4" does not exist in my ETK, so either it is not a correct number or my ETK is too old (5/2005). The rear wheel part number is the same as in the other posts. Print the following picture and take it to the dealer and they should be able to get you the wheels:

The only 'official' 19" wheel in the UK for E60 is the Style #172M,

To order 'M' parts for a non-'M' car in the UK you need to have a 'friendly' dealer (or a M5-owning friend willing to 'lend' you his VIN number

)

maybe try these part numbers in Europe:

7 834 625 (front)
7 834 626 (rear)

they should be available on the computer...
