they do these M5 replicas...get these instead for your M-Sport !!! 
http://www.rochfordtyres.co.uk/product.asp...strKeywords=E31
only issue would be the quality of the wheel....i guess there's no way to tell and i have no experience of this companies products...but they look good in the pics.
the details don't specifically mention that they fit an E60 but it would be odd if they didn't. seems they have them in 18" and 19" sizes according to the bottom of that page.
Now i'll get my flame suit ready for people who'll say "stop trying to make your M-sport look like an M5"

My Ride: 535D Sport Auto
Thanks they look great just like the real deal, but I have already paid for the 172's and been e.mailing my dealer every other to day to find out where they are. 
I do like the 172's, I know they're not like the M5 wheel, but they're still an M wheel and will I'm sure look good.
I will be ordering an M5 soon - just waiting for the diesel engined version to come out.

My Ride: 535d Auto M Sport delivered 04/10/05, Carbon Black, Beige Ventilated Nasca Leather, Dark Poplar Wood, Media Pack - Sat Nav Pro, Bmw Assist, Bluetooth phone prep + telematics + snap in adapter for Nokia 6230i & 6 CD, Visibility Pack - bi-xenons, adaptive headlights and Headlight Wash, HUD, High Gloss Shadow Line, Extended Lights, HiFi System, Extended Voice, M Spoiler and Heated/ventilated f/seats. Chrome Grills. M Double Spoke 19" Mixed Wheels 172 with 245/35 front and 275/30 rear (Non-runflat continentals) Spare wheel and jack. Supaglass.
Does anyone have a picture of the 19" alloys that BMW note on their website as being optional on the 535d sport (and other sports ?) They also describe them as run-flats, but I'm not sure and my dealer hasn't gotten back to me.
