Hi guy's,
Some days ago I bought 4 Alloy Wheels 18" 8" BMW 135M of friend of mine. The ET is 47 from a 3 series but I need to know if I can use it one my 5 touring E61 and the modification in need to take.
I need spacers? and the size of spacers? Can you help me?
Tinking in tyres 235/40/18. Opinion?

All wheel drive, or just rear wheel drive? The ET's are different...
Assuming your 520d is rear wheel drive, the factory ET spec is 20mm, so you'll need spacers of ~27mm. You'll also need longer wheel bolts.
245/40R18 looks like a good tire size.
More information.

Some friends are against the use of Spacers. What do you think abou the use of that 30mm Spacers?? Any problems in the future? Maybe the best option are try to change to another wheels with correct ET. ?

Tire size, 245/40x18 is factory standard. The 235 will be too small. In fact you can easily use a slightly larger tire like 245/45x18, but smaller than factory spec would not be a good idea.
