Ok so the time has come for my car to go into the shop!! Im doing the OEM M5 Kit and would like to do the M6 wheels as well. For those of you that are knowledable about the 530XI's I had a few questions about the wheels.
I originially wanted to do the M5 wheels until after asking around was dissapointed when I found out they couldnt be done on the XI models. However, I've seen a few XI's with the M6 wheels and think they would look amazing on my car. Does anyone know the tire dimensions as well as the offset to use on the front and rear? I'd like to give the car a staggered look if possible and would appreciate the help of the more experienced E60 owners.
My next question has to do with the lights. I'd like to change my headlights/taillights for the newer 08+ ones. FYI my car is an 06 530xi. I'm sure that some of you have done the conversion. Did you experience complications in wiring or was it a direct plug? My car already has the xenon lights so I'm assuming the wiring should be somewhat similiar.
Lastly, I'd like to ask about the M5 mirrors. Have any of you modded them onto your cars? Can it even be done?
Thanks in advance for the help guys!
I'll be sure to post pics as the modding commences!

Search on my posts. Trust me. I am the XI Master...or at least was. Everyone that posted on this thread was one of my pupils at one point. I'm serious.
As an FYI, I ran 19" staggered wheels on my XI. Ran spacers too, to make them flush. Fitment was perfect. I also lowered the car, and had an ECU tune and had... Hahahahahahaha! The list goes on and on. I miss that car.
