I am about to receive my car (525) and I found a good deal on a set of rims that are currently on a M3.

They are 20 x 9's front and 20 x 10's rear, iforged.

Does anyone know if these will fit?

The offset for M3 and 5 series are different. However, you could ask your familiar store to add spacer in order to fit it. I don't think that the spacer is a problem since many 5 series oweners have added spacers.

If u fit with the new wheels, please post some picture.

If I recall correctly, 20x9 will not fit on the front of an E60 without spacers.

9x20 works fine with the ocrrect offset.
But, most M3 applications are a good ways off from what's correct for an E60. As we discussed a few posts down, a few people are using the factory CSL wheels on the e 60 with some spacers in 19". But that doesn't mean every wheel like that will work properly.
