Nope. You are talking about wrench size. I am talking about bolt size. WRT the above point, we were discussing all BMW OE wheels, not just E53 wheels.
If you look at your own chart, some wheels are designed for M12 bolts and some for M14 bolts. The 12 and 14 refer to the bolt diameter, not the wrench size. You may be able to get away with a bolt not designed for a certain wheel, but I wouldn't do it.
