Is there a big difference with 19" and 20" staggered rims when mounted on a sport package e60? Mostly in looks.. is it noticeable ????

This is not really a "yes or no" question, is it? 
Let's get into some more specifics - do you have any particular 19s and 20s that you'd like to compare? I mean, I can give you a simple "yes" to your question, but I have a feeling you'll remain perplexed.

there's no particular rims... just wanted some staggered with fat lip rims.. and i see that 19" are about 500 dollars lesser than 20" rims... don't know if that helps any....

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
Yes, there is a difference. The 20" have 1" more metal across the wheel than the 19". I can't tell the difference.

Back to the topic, lips look better with bigger wheels. Ride will deteriorate, less protection from potholes, and tires will cost more.
