All Wheel Drive version of the 5 series
If your trunk lid doen't say 5--XI then you have a regular non-AWD 5 series and the rims won't fit, sorry

I believe so. They are offset +35 and +40 respectively which is exactly the setup I'm running on my VMR's.

This excites me.

I have to wait until spring though.

I would double check, because we do have different years. But i think it should work

Can anyone confirm this? There are some nice looking 3 series rims out there that should be cheap since 3 series owners like to modify.
