Afternoon chaps, looking for a little advice, My brother bought a 2000 540 which was very quickly written off by his son who was out playing without the traction control, so he still had his 1999 528 in the garage and has swapped the M-tech wheels off his 540 onto it "coz they look nice" but they vibrate like hell and I wonder if you could tell me if there might be a problem with the offsets or might it just simply be that one of the wheels has been slightly damaged in the crash? Thanks

How old are the two cars? if ones an E34 (ie 89-96) and the others an E39?(96-03) the you need to purchase some hub centres (available form an alloy wheel dealer)

Had same problem on fathers car when we junked the metric TDX rims for some E39 turbines
