Basically, u can not check untill u put the wheels onto your car, or u bring the gauge to measure.

Go for the Alpina Softline....... very nice on White E39. they are very rare too...

than from the 3 photos how do you know they do not fit our e39?

Really? i thought they said all suitable for E39? how to check whether suitable or not? make me hesitate as i remember reading somewhere on this forum someone changed the rim to other size and the ECU prompt error message.

Eric,

Somehow unexplained, our e39 wheel centre bore is 74 mm and is the largest among BMW sedan series.

Plan to get some nice example for u , but very hard to search the picture of Alpina M5 e39 even in google.

All the rims are replica and seller mentioned the rims fit e60 or others model, so i assume they are not perfect fitment for e39.

What is centre bore? And how come so far I can see wheels easily interchangeable between BMW models without any mention on this measurement?

Did you have the MID before? If you did, did you relocate the MID to the glovebox? Otherwise will be hard to change time etc if the car resets.

No need go keep it there all the time, only when you need to access any of the OBC functions. But have the plug available in the glovebox when its needed.

Some people went further and mount in under the glovebox near your knee in order to keep the glovebox usable.

I meant an e39 with M5 kit + Alpina decal and rims.

My E39 aircon control unit kong, all button cannot function and keep blowing out hot air even if key already removed. send to 2 places still cannot find the replacement part.(one shop quoted me RM2000+ for a 2nd hand unit, crazy...) will try Naidu tomorrow...

 

[bmw7833]

For your info, I bought mine RM1k about 5 years ago. I strongly recommend u go to Haki Trade or MK to source the part.
