We're looking for rims and snow tires for a new-to-us '06 wagon. Would appreciate it if you know what models of bmw's have rims that fit.
Thanks in advance,
DaveL

Hi DaveL, You can find all original rims here (It?s in German but choose ?e60?, Click on the pictures. Xdrive rims are called ?Allrad? (ET43)): http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/

Today has been an interesting, and challenging day. We picked up our E61 and found 2 sets of snow tires/rims for it. The first set was at a used car store we've dealt with many times. They mounted ok; had problems at speed. Didn't know offset, or rim numbers so we said, "Thanks. NO thanks." and left the rims and tires at the store.
The other rims/tires are on our E61 now. A world of difference.
Question: what is the proper torque for wheel bolts? First dawn tomorrow I need to check tire air pressure and wheel bolt torque.
Thanks again!

We picked up our new-to-us '06 530 xit at about noon today. Since then we've had bought and had 2 sets of snow tires installed; and experienced problems along the way. We're in good shape now.
It's an incredible car, and I feel very lucky!

DaveL
