If that set is indeed orig equip BMW style 132s they are staggered.
I have seen some non stock/replica "132" style wheels floating around the web that were 'square'/non-staggered, but that square sizing is not common...
I have had the OE 132 staggered style on my '01 3.0 E53 5 Speed for the past 14 years; they look good, run well, and I like their look.
Correct on sizing if they are staggered: 255/50 R19 front and 285/45 R19 rear, tires sizing.
They are a few brands and species available in that size, though the selection and often the availability for a full staggered set is decreasing over the years.
I just 're-tired' my E53 with a set of Bridgestone Dueler Sport in their 'summer version'; B Stone also makes an 'all season' version, as do other brands. Mine are non-run flat.
As for your current 17" wheels: I assume they are style '57s. I ran a set of those with dedicated winter tires for a few 'winters' when we lived full time at our seasonal Mtn home. They ran well in winter conditions.
The 19" 132s are bolt on with no problem, if they are legit OE. They will feel/drive/track/steer differently in 'feel' than you are used to, but no big deal.
