X5 M Wheels Fitment

Post by 55NF » Thu May 24, 2012 6:07 pm

Anyone know if the X5 M wheel will fit an E70 40d M Sport? I'm talking about the 299M M sport wheel.

Looking at RealOEM it seems that the X5M is fitted with the same electronic rear axle systems found on the X6 model range which means the centre bore of the rear wheels is smaller than the standard E70 X5. Assuming that what holds true for the X6/X6M also applies to the X5M then the answer is no they won't without machining the bore out to the right size.

Thanks, I didn't think they would.... I've been offered a set with brand new tyres & thought they might be worth buying & keeping the tyres. I think the wheels would be hard to sell to be honest.
