You will need to try the wheel mounting to be sure preferably before you invest in new tyres

It may be cheaper/easier to sell your 3 series wheel set and buy an X3 set

I have just done this and it was cost neutral by selling my X1 set and buying a similar priced X3 set

It also removed any possible insurance issues as they are the correct wheel OEM for the X3
Yup...that is exactly the reason I posted the last link above.

Also the very reason I purchased a complete set of wheels and winter tyres from alloywheelsdirect.net
