The front should not be an issue, because the 7er rim is a half-inch wider but the ET (hub depth / offset) is 6mm greater and therefore compensates for this. They tyre sizes are also the same as on the E60. So that's all fine.
On the rear however, it could be a tighter squeeze, because the ET value is lower AND the rim is wider. So the ET value will push the rim out further and the rim is wider. Not sure if you could fit a 275 wide tyre on the 10 inch rim to help reduce the risk of rubbing??
HOWEVER, a member has fitted this to their E60 and claimed they fitted ok. I suggest doing a search in the E60 Discussion section. Maybe it will all fit under the rear arch without rubbing

The tires for 21" wheels on a E60 should be
245 or 255/25R21
275 or 285/20R21
