A quick perusal via the handy Search Tab turns up pages of threads on wheel bore size diff between E53 & E70, eg:

X3 E83 = PCD 5x120, center bore 72.5mm and M14x1.5 bolt thread. ET 40-45

X5 E53 = PCD 5x120, center bore 72.5mm and M14x1.5 bolt thread. ET 40-45

X5 E70 = PCD 5x120, center bore 74.0mm and M14x1.25 bolt thread. ET 37-53

X6 E71 = PCD 5x120, center bore FRONT 74.0mm, center bore REAR 72.5mm and M14x1.5 bolt thread.


Your E53 wheels, whether oe or rep, will not fit on E70, though a few posters report good luck with having the E53 wheels bored by any decent machine shop, fwiw.

Maybe this wheel info should be a sticky?! ;>)
