Yes they look amaizing. Aren't those wheels the same with bbs rxII? They look so much alike.

I think there different than RX. On the comp M3 the rear bends inward so deep. It looks very hot and if I were to go OEM I really think I would go that route....

Oh wait i see the difference...

The bbs ones are 2 pice and obviusly have the bolts. They must be lighter too.

But still i can't remember where i saw a bbs wheel that looked exactly like the m3 comp wheels or csl wheels. I don't remember the model either...

After seeing them on the e39 I'm not a fan. 166's are what I want....

I don't know if they were copies or the real thing, but the tricked out E60 that TC Kline Racing did had these wheels on it. They needed spacers to work, but were a really nice looking setup. Would love to see more of it, but apparently the TC Kline folks don't have much interest in the E60, as it's not mentioned in their webpages anywhere. I'll see if I can fine the picture. It was in an Autoweek issue about a year ago.

I love the M3 competition wheels. I wish they would fit the 550 I would buy them. Luckily my friend with the new M5 wants new wheels and I am getting his M5 wheels.

These wheels WILL work for our E60s its just we need spacers like we would for 166 wheels.....

You may need 5mm more than a 166 wheel but they WILL work. Me personally, I think they are the hottest OEM wheel out period.
