Hole pattern, offset and most importantly the hub centering ring diameter (which does vary on some BMW models, even with the standard 5X120 bolt circle). The actual lug bolts on a F25 ARE different from those on a E83, so if you have any fancy chrome bolts for the wheels, they absolutely won't work (F25 = M14x1.25 & E83 = M14x1.5) Why BMW changed is anybody's guess.
