The Cdn 5 series do not use Direct TPMS, it uses Indirect TPMS. Meaning the additional sensors you purchased for those aftermarket wheels are totally unnecesary. Check with your dealer to confirm. I did.

As for the aftermarket wheels themselves, I did lots of researches but none of the vendors can guarantee those aftermarket wheels will clear the front brake calipers, esp. the 550 (back brake calipers are not the issue as they are smaller than the front) which is bigger than the 535 & 528.

I have (well technically waiting for delivery of) a 2011 55i xDrive with mSport. The car has the 19" wheels but the the slection listed above has the same circumference. The rims are good match to the mSport rims.
