Not a great pic but you can see them top left. They're 18".



I had the same wheels on my last 5 so need something different.

And your right very easy to kerb

Keep the one's you currently have, there's nothing wrong with them IMO. If you do change them don't go for M5 because it will look like a to**er's car then. As somebody else said, M5 wheels are for M5's only.

No you can get LMs in 18" but because of the way it is made I think 18" looks weird. You have to remeber the E39 needs a substantial rim as some can look good on E46 cars and crap on E39s.

Have you thought about Alpinas? They look sweet.

Here are a few types of rims to get you drooling.
