Man those look AWESOME? 
Any problems with the tire pressure sensor or ABS with the change?

No problems with abs or tyre pressure. Dealer reset my idrive monitor for new setup.

Wheels really do make the difference.
Case-in-point: My B-I-L had just got an '02 745Li but didn't check with me before he ordered. He took the base 18" wheels. When I ordered my 745i months later I definitely went for the optional 19" wheels. I may be biased but the two cars just didn't project the same image. Subtle difference yes, but a whole new car.

Very nice. 
I think you're the 1st in the US to have' em on and posted.
Kinda blows the "New M5 wheels won't fit out E60's" opinion out of the water!
Hmmm so one doesn't need 255/35/19 fronts and 285/30/19 rears, In all did it set ya back over 3 grand?

245/35 F, 275/30 R is the factory recommendation for the 19" wheels.

wheels look nice i have been waiting for the new M5 DINAN wheels i order them about the same 2 months ago, should be in by this week or so. I will post pics then, also i am lowering the car a few inches, which looks good either way. I am a HUGE DINAN fan, but the stock M5 rims look great as well
