not all 2005 e53's have the 72.6mm bore size. my 2005 4.4i has a 74mm bore and i swapped the wheels between the 2005 e53 and my 2011 e70. you can see the before and after here: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...6-im-back.html

ive seen charts that suggest the bore size for all 2005 e53's is 72.6mm. in my real life experience that claim is inaccurate. you might find this chart helpful. Bolt pattern | Stud Pattern : Bolt Pattern list 5*X*120
