Darker colors such as black and blue looks good with 167's, and lighter with 166's, however as many have said before, wheels are a personall choice!

Personally I like 167's and 166's, if youre getting OEM you cant really go wrong either way, if youre going rep, then 167's for sure!

I would go for 166. I really am not a fan for a 5 spoke design, but 128 suits the E60 quite well.
Lot of people here like the M6 (167) wheels, but I would never put them in my car.

+1 about the dark and light colors.

166's on white or slivers and 167's on blacks and blues.

Whatever you decide, don't get anything smaller than 19" please.

VMW V710's. These are brand new to the market, and a great price. It's very possible you'll see these on my car next summer
