Ric: I actually like this pic better than the last one you posted, you car looks really good here.
The car is a very clean tuned E60. Looks like the original should, no more.

If you have an XI you need to be VERY careful what wheels you choose. The offsets are much different on the XI compared to that of the standard RWD E60, so most of the OEM 19" wheels will NOT work on your car.
Do a search on many of my posts when it comes to XI wheels and you will see. Most on this forum used to consider me the XI Guru. Find my posts and you'll have a lot of tips of what to look for, when it comes to 19" wheels. Here's a few starters...
And last, but not least...

Book mark that link above. Live it, know it, learn it.
Here are the standard specs for XI wheels. Click on which stock wheels you have and you will find the exact specs (width & offsets). *Exact XI model or year does not matter, unless it's the wagon.

Good luck.

- Offsets need to be ET35 or higher.
- Look at 3 series wheels. 3 series wheels have a high offset, even in the RWD models.

And if you're broke because all you do is mod your car and need cheap summer tires so you can do donuts and burnouts and not care get General Exclaim UHP tires!
If I didn't know better, I'd say that you must have a specific member in mind.
It can't be me because I am bone stock and still riding on the Contis. My ride is one of the cars that C thinks gave the delaership showroom look to the pics at last Saturday's Ross Docks Meet.
So you seem like a fan of the Generals, eh?
Other than their total lack of prestige, what's wrong with them?

Hi
I can definitely help you out on wheels. What are you looking to spend? Wheels in 19" range anywhere from $900 (Cast) - $4000 (3pc Forged).

Am I limited to what kind of 19" I can put on my car due to the fact I own a 2006 530 XI? I would like to pull th trigger on this pretty soon but I am hesitant due to most of the mod's I'm seeing are NOT on xi models.
Any info would be appreciated.
