I would contact Gary Romani of Newport BMW. There is a sticky with his contact information under the parts and Accesories Section. He is a great guy to deal with and you get a 25% discount. Good Luck.

...think 166's will run you 1495 + shipping. Get your offsets figured out before you order, M5 or M6 offsets...

i really like how the m5 rims look on these cars.
quick Q, what offset would u suggest for 5 series the m5 or m6 offset.
I am assuming one is more aggresive than the other one.
thanks!

Those who've ordered the M5 offset sometimes supplement with spacers.

are 166's m5 rims? what are offsets? is it how wide the rim extends out?
166's are M wheels, made for both M5 and M6.
Offsets
M5 Front 12 Rear 28
M6 Front 12 Rear 17
The 11 mm difference on the rear M6 offsets push the wheels out a little further, giving it a wider stance look and fill the wheel well more. Some members that get the M5 offsets end up putting on spacers on the rears to get the look the M6 offsets would give you stock. Save yourself the time and money and just order the M6 offsets, IMO. When you talk to Gary just let him know you want 166 wheels for your e60 with M6 offsets. He'll take care of it (at least that's what other members have said). GL
