Just got the M6 wheels fitted after much messing around!
There is no catching or rubbing even with the 9.5" rear wheels with 275/30/19 rubber & I did have all 4 original wheels in the boot.
I think it just need 30mm lowering, any suggestions?
I will post more pictures over the weekend as long as everyone wants that!

I am thinking about the M6 rims myself, got the same car/color as yours. What dit u mean with messing around. Did u have problems with fitting the wheel and where did u get the wheels.
Congrats again.

Very, very nice!!
I've considered M6 rims for my winter tires but they didn't look too good in 18".
But now I definitely want M6 rims for my summer tires
.
Good to hear that they don't rub, my dealer tells me that it's not possible to fit 275 in the rear without rubbing.
I also noted a lot of members with black tourings here
.
Here's mine with 18" M5 (winter) rims.

They look f***in awesome 
Well done that man
Definitely needs a drop - I have dropped 15mm over M-tech since fitting my 19ers - Eibach Pro Kit is the way to go ...

My Ride: E61 535d sport, Silver Grey/grey/maple.
20" Hartge Nova 7. Previously 19" staggered 172s
I think there are issues with lowering a tourer due to the levelling.
If someone wants to pioneer this, I will be along second

We had problems with the tyre depth that's why there are 275/30/19 on the rear and I wanted to be able to lower the car.
If anybody knows where I can get lowering kit in the UK please let me know I will be adding the ac schnitzer front splitters and the real M5 electrics folding door mirrors.
By the way if anybody is thinking of going the Superchips or DMS route i can thoroughly recommend it! Its like having a different car I get another 2mpg and yesterday was side by side a new 911 Carrera S to 130mph and he backed off. The car just gets going at 100mph now and just keeps moving forward at the same rate of knots right the way round the clock I will post an mpeg soon.
Safe to say 911 man was p****d off when he realized that I was driving a touring and think he wanted to kill himself when he saw the diesel badge. Ha Ha.

The car just gets going at 100mph now and just keeps moving forward at the same rate of knots right the way round the clock I will post an mpeg soon.

They can also s/f your ACS splitters and M5 mirrors.
Please pop into www.bmwland.co.uk to post some pics of your touring, it looks so f***in hot (like Blingo's)
