Well I haven't tried my e70 but my E53 and other bmw's have 17mm lug bolts.
All of my BMWs had 17mm lug bolts, too...until I got the 06 e53 (not sure about the 85 e30, though). It threw me for a loop the first time I went to remove them...because I brought my 17mm socket to the party...and it wouldn't fit.

If you pull up the diagrams for the e53...the example below for the Style 153 wheels that came on my 06...you can see that up to 12/2005 build date (which includes me)...the part nbr for bolt (#4) is a 19mm bolt (part # 36 13 6 756 298)...then after the 12/2005 build date...it went back to a 17mm bolt (part # 36 13 6 781 153).
