Damn that looks good! If you had gone for the 9.5 rears there would be 21mm less inner clearance ... have you checked whether you could have gone that way...

Part of the reason I went with the CSl's non-staggered is because I've bought the wrong wheels before and it is an expensive PITA to return them etc.
I knew these would fit so went for them instead. I looked at the M6 wheels at Bekkers as well but I think they are 38mm in the 8.5 and 40 in the 9.5 so I just wasn't confident they would fit. A guy at my golf club has them on his 330 and they look good. He went staggerered in 19 inch. It seems like wheels that will fit the e90 will also fit the e61 but not 100% sure.
I stuck with what I knew would work, plus I prefer the more neutral handling of the same sized set up all around. I had a 330 zhp with the staggered set up and it was very darty - to the point where my wife refused to drive it. Have to compromise sometimes to keep the Chancellor of the Exchequer happy...
