Wheel colour for a BMW M5 III (E39), sorted by the paint it left the factory in. Fitment first: 5×120 PCD, 74.1mm bore, staggered, and everything listed is confirmed to fit. Then finish, because it leaves the factory in Avus Blue Metallic, Techno Violet Metallic, Alpine White III, Alpinweiss III, Petrol Mica and more, so here is what we would run on each. Crumpsall Alloys fit from Manchester, free fitting available.
M5 in Bright Red, our pick
Bright Red on a BMW M5 III (E39)? We would go gloss black, gloss black gives a red car the contrast it needs; silver can look a bit fleet on red; or silver, understated and period-correct: lets the red do the talking.
M5 in Arctic Silver Metallic, our pick
Arctic Silver Metallic on a BMW M5 III (E39)? We would go gloss black, silver paint, black wheel: the pairing that never looks wrong and always looks intentional; or bronze, grey paint can look flat; bronze wheels put some warmth back into it.
M5 in Petrol Mica, our pick
Petrol Mica on a BMW M5 III (E39)? We would go silver, silver is the safe-classic option: never wrong, never dated.
M5 in Alpine White III, Alpinweiss III, our pick
Alpine White III, Alpinweiss III on a BMW M5 III (E39)? We would go bronze, bronze against white is the motorsport look, warm metal on a clean body, and it photographs brilliantly; or satin / matt black, on white, satin black hides brake dust better than gloss and still looks purposeful.
M5 in Techno Violet Metallic, our pick
Techno Violet Metallic on a BMW M5 III (E39)? We would go silver, silver is the safe-classic option: never wrong, never dated.
