Got the same question here couple weeks ago.
And yes, E70 rim and tires will fit.
If u are in the US, u just need to change the TPMS but if u r in Canada, u don't have to.
The 18" will look small but it will serve the purpose.

Or just disable it. And you will still get a flat tire warning via ABS system.

Yes, im in canada , so its direct bolt on without problem? If it does then i might just go grab it before its gone.. its hard to find them locally.

I found the specs :

E70 style 209
Offset : ET46
Centre bore : 74.1mm
Currently mounted on pirelli scorpion winter rft tires

Cad$800 is still a decent price considering that a new set with an oem rims will cost u at least $2200 on an 18".
My tread is 9/32.
What's the tread of the one u r trying to buy?
Maybe $600?

it'll look very tucked in, but it does the job fine, and also more sidewalls for hitting stuff

I believe the TPMS sensors have a different frequency.

again canadian spec BMWs dont have TPMS, only FTM via ABS sensors so swapping wheels would not matter.
