What would make you think the differentials couldn't handle it?
What tire sizes are you running?
Wheel weights?
Did you even look at any other thread in this section?

I just bought an 07 335xi. I has a blown front differential. You can see in the history where the guy before me bought 245/35r19 and 265/30r19 rims and tires. 4 months later there is a bill for a tow and removal of drive shafts due to a blown differential. its almost 4 times the amount of diameter error than what it came with from the factory staggered setup. makes the front wheels 15 revolutions off per mile from the rear. I wouldn't do it if I were you.
