Qs 5) Wheels for 2002 BMW M5 and 2008 M3?

Are the wheels for the BMW M5 (2002) and the BMW M3 (2008) the same model/make/whatever? Thanks.

    As their make and model suggests they are different and therefore could not be interchanged, fitting a BMW M5 Wheels in the BMW M3 will not work since they have different offset, and forcing it to fit for the M3 would damage your bearing and some part of the steering in the long run, that could possibly result in an accident, innovations such as these must be first consulted from a certified BMW mechanic as only them could do the job properly and they can guarantee their job. Every Car model are engineered to perfection all of its parts are designed to work in harmony with each other, altering one of them which is not suited with other part would greatly affect the performance of your car.

Will 2008 m3 wheels fit 01 e46 coupe?

Per Tire Rack, for a 2001 330ci you could use 235/35-19 front and 245/35-19 in the rear. Wider tires for the same profile increase the tire's effective diameter(think wheel well gap above the tire) and will change both the odometer and speedometer readings. Additionally, the wider tires may cause rubbing of the fender or other components while turning unless the fenders are flared out.
Caliper clearance should be checked, usually M3 uses bigger calipers than stock. While they may look cool installed, there are several disadvantages to lolwer profile tires such as harsh ride, unforgiving of potholes/speedbumps, wider width is worse for snow application (cause that floating feeling). The 2008 wheel will have the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) .
Both have a bolt pattern of 5-120.

I have a 2002 BMW 530i where the brake light, ABS light and triangle (traction?) light all stay on. It has been intermittant as when you first start the car, everything is off but once you start moving,...

i suspect that their is a rusty damaged toothed sprocket on one of the wheels and as its a rear wheel drive vehicle then it could be a back one which is what i would check first

My bmw x5 have steering problems

Have you had a alignment recently? They will check the steering components for problems and let you know if any exist. If not, they will adjust the wheels to manufacturer spec.
