My Ride: E61 - 525Da with sports pack & some more stuff (color = carbon black with kastanjebraun leather)
Hey guys,
Just ordered a black 525 BREAK with sportpack ...
Don't lauch, I'm a guy with a family ;->
I'm not that crazy about the weels that are on there, but last week I saw a
E60 in the garage with 19" M172 wheels... Sublimo...
Does anyone know wheter or not these are available in 18" and where ?
Cheers,

What's wrong with the 19's? Best option IMHO as you also lose the runflats...

This is a HOT looking wheel, I think it looks better than M5's. It's going to be hard to clean between the spikes though.

Apparently they fit just fine but affect the load carrying ability - but will be expensive as individual purchase unless the dealer can help...

My Ride: E61 535d sport, Silver Grey/grey/maple.
20" Hartge Nova 7. Previously 19" staggered 172s
Just to show they fit. In the UK they are not an approved fitment by BMW, we don't have homologation like they do in Germany. I have no idea about Belgium though.
...and trust me, no-one's laughing.
