Will X5 (E53) wheels fit on the new X3?

Hi guys,
will the X3 (E53) wheels (style 99 8 x 18 ET 40) fit on the new X3? The ET is similar (40 instead of 43) and they are all 5x120, but I've heard that the E70 uses different boltsizes (same as 7-series) but haven't been able to find any information regarding the wheels from the E53.

Any ideas?

They should fit no problem.
I still think they are 14mm bolts and 5 * 120 pitch, same centres.
My winters are 8.5 * 18 ET 35 all round, fit a treat.

Thank you. It's getting slippery already so it's time to get the winters on.

I've got some E53 wheels for mine with winter tyres too. I did my research and I believe they fit, you'll have to use the bolts from the X3 wheels, the thread pitch is different.
