I did go to bmw.de and found really nice 20" M wheels for the F10, (from the original M5, of course).
Just get non-RF 245/35 and (275)285/30 tires, because the original M5 tires sizes are too large for the
standard F10.

Do you have to have them re-bored? I heard from my dealer that they're different sized so you can't
just take em off an E60 and have them fit on an F10.... Any confirmation?

The E60 wheels have such a very differant ET's compared to the F10, meaning that
E60 wheels don't fit a F10!

But any new F-series M5 and M6 wheels will fit your new F10 523i.

My F10 20" OEM Style 312 wheels are front ET 33 and rear 44.

Thanks for the ET info. I guess it's just a matter of waiting now
to see if BMW puts out some new M rims!

Is that pretty much the case across the board? I have 18-inch Style 89s that I've used on my last two E60s. So they won't fit an F10 550?

Is that also true for the old and new 6er? Wheels from the old 650 will not fit a new 650?

For what it's worth, rims of the E39 and E60 aren't interchangeable.... Well, I think I've decided on what I want for my F10....

I'm sorry to say that no. The ET's on the new F10/11 and F12/13 are way too high
that the old 5- or 6-series BMW wheels would fit.

As an example my F10 OEM 20" 312's wheels are front ET33 and rear ET44.

My F10 20" OEM Style 312 wheels are front ET 33 and rear 44.
I do not know the ET of the M5/M6 wheels but I know the width and IMO they are to wide to fit the standard F10.
F10 has 8,5 x 20" ET 33 (245/35 tyres) on the front wheels and 9 x 20" ET 44 (275/30 tyres) on the rear wheels.
M5 has 9 x 20" (265/34 tyres) on the front wheels and 10 x 20" (295/30 tyres) on the rear wheels.
Which are the ET of the M5 20" wheels?
