Thanks for the reply...
After much searching for specs online that would tell me the brake disc sizes, I see that on ultimatespecs.com it lists the following: BMW F25 X3 xDrive35d Front Brakes - Disc dimensions : Vented Discs (328 mm) Rear Brakes - Dics dimensions : Vented Discs (330 mm) BMW F11 5 Series Touring 530d Aut Front Brakes - Disc dimensions : Vented Discs (348 mm) Rear Brakes - Dics dimensions : Vented Discs (330 mm) So appears that the F25 X335DM will have smaller front brakes (discs, at least) than my F11 530dM, and the same on the rear... if the figures online are correct. The 17's fit on my 5 series, so will fit over the brake discs. Waiting for an email from my dealer re specs, so when he gets back to me i'll ask him to confirm. Would a different "offset" necessarily be an issue?

I have no real technical knowledge but I would have thought this would be the inital issue especially for the front when steering.
According to the Tire Rack: Offset The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. The offset can be one of three types (measured in millimeters).* Zero Offset The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel. Positive The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars. Negative The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset. If the offset of the wheel is not correct for the car, the handling can be adversely affected. When the width of the wheel changes, the offset also changes numerically. If the offset were to stay the same while you added width, the additional width would be split evenly between the inside and outside. For most cars, this won't work correctly. We have test fitted thousands of different vehicles for proper fitment. Our extensive database allows our sales staff to offer you the perfect fit for your vehicle.
