The E9X M3 style wheels look perfect on the car and I'm glad to hear that you're happy with them

I've yet to any post/pics of anyone's 06-08 XI with M3 rims but can anyone tell me if this is true? He did mention..."it would work with spacers but then the front wheels would stick out."

Again...is that right?

Also if anyone has an 06-08 328xi with these rims on, i'd def like to see it.

Thanks for the help and sorry if this is the *enth time it's been posted.
The short answer is no, the OEM M3 wheels will not fit your 328xi as the offsets are far too aggressive and will cause major rubbing issues.

Please see below for the setups for the E9X M3 style wheel that will work perfectly for your 328xi

18" non-staggered:
18x8.0 ET35 all around

18" staggered:
18x8.0 ET35
18x9.0 ET35

19" non-staggered:
19x8.5 ET35

19" staggered:
19x8.5 ET35
19x9.5 ET35

Here's a picture of the E9X M3 style wheel on a customers car just like yours:
E90 328i
Front: 18x8.5 ET35
Rear: 18x8.5 ET35
