Gene - I actually edited my post above. I realized that this member actually has a wagon and not a sedan. I'm 99% sure that the wagon can't run a staggered set-up. Not because of performance issues, but because of rubbing issues. The wagon doesn't have as much clearance inside the wheel well, as the standard XI sedan.
Take a look at these two links:
535xi SEDAN with 124's (Note how this comes as a staggered set-up for the XI Sedan with 18x8 ET43 and 18x9 ET55).

Now look at this...
535xi Wagon with 124's (Note how all 4 wheels are 18x8 ET43. There is no option for 18x9 ET55!)
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=36&fg=15
I also recall a few members a few years ago saying how they couldn't do staggered on their wagons. It was due to less room inside the wheel wells of the wagons in the rear.
