They are from E87.

Wheel: 16" / 5×120 ET 44
Wheel: 16" / 5×120 ET 34

(Strange that they state two different ET? Two versions?)

Tires:
205/55-16 Dunlop Bridgestone, Goodyear

Yes, they should fit, unless you have the optional M-Sport brakes. ET34 would look better than ET44.

check with your insurance company first.If they are not the approved wheels then you may not be covered !

What? Is that a UK thing? What is the logic behind it?

Got these. Never used before. Looks almost ok. Big contrast.

Hopefully spring is around the corner.

The TPMS sensors costed as much as the whole wheel/tire setup.

I was told by my UK insurance company that there would be no extra charges for fitting BMW approved alloys (different to what came with my car) and winter tyres.Non BMW approved would incur charges .

A lot of UK insurers do not like modifications away from standard, be that wheels, suspension, tuning or anything else. Their main concern is modifications that improve performance and potentially increase risk to them. They tend to be happier with manufacturer mods as they are approved for the vehicle, but there were stories a few years ago of some charging extra for even fitting winter tyres. Winter tyres have only really been in the public perception since around 2009/2010 so they took a little time to catch up. Generally most UK insurers won't charge extra if you have winter tyres now, but do like to know if the wheel size is different from the summer/normal size.

I think Norwegian insurers would refuse to pay out if you have an accident in the winter WITHOUT winter tyres. Otherwise they do not care about wheels/tyres as long as they are road legal.

This is what will happen in the UK if you have the wrong wheels.
