Ty-
I personally like the Hamann Wheels, specifically the HM2's. They are absolutely bullet proof as far as bending and the likes, and they are a very good looking wheel. Not too heavy either. For the 5 series, you can get 18" and now they make a 19" too. You can go with two different setups on the car: 1)staggered or 2)same front to rear. If you go with the same width wheel front and rear they are 8.5" wide for both 18" and 19" wheels, but for the staggered setup they are 8.5" front and 10" rear, again for both 18" and 19" wheels. Tire sizes are 235s front and 265 rear. I should note that in order for the car not to rub in the rear with the staggered setup, you have to do a little fender modification. Not too much, but really worth while doing.

Hope this helps,
Nene
