Hi - just picked up my 2005 545i (Black/Black, Sport, Cold, NAV, Sat) - what a great ride. Finally made the right decision this time to have a manual transmission

Does anyone know if it possible to use wheels from my 323i, with new, appropriately sized snow tires, as the winter package for my 545i?

since no has answered you, i'll guess. the 323 propably has 16" wheels the were for 11.xx"rotors. your 545 has 13.xx"rotors, i doubt they will fit. get some michelin pilot sport a/s on the 545 rims.

Nice choice of car and welcome to the forum.

Those wheels won't fit. http://www.tirerack.com has a lot of winter wheel packages, that's where I got mine.

Hi Welcome, don't think any wheels from E46 will fit a E60 due to the difference in offset.
