it depends on the extras you choose,
if you choose M-sports package you get 18" or 19" 245x40x18" allaround.
standard is 16" or 17",depends on the motorization and the mounted brakes.
For 520i and d you can choose 16" I believe, higher motorizations need 17", to make sure the brakes have enough space inside the rim.

Thanks for the reply

I am thinking about buying 18" or 19" wheels for a E61 2006, and was wandering what ET they should have?

it's easy, take a look in my signature:
OEM style 167 rims, straight from an M6:

front 245x35x19" et12
back 275x30x19" et17

The M5 rims will not fit the rear,because of the et( et28)

Hi Narvselius

Right now I drive an E36, but cumming 2011 I will (i hope) drive an E61 525D 2006 or 2007. My driving needs have changed so it is time to get a diesel.
