So I actually took a ride to the local BMW dealer today for kicks and I saw a black 2000 540i with 17x9 Style 32's.
(Pic for reference!)
I really liked how they looked on it. My question is, will they fit without an issue on a 2003 530i? I'm guessing yet but may have to get spacers but not sure.
Also: Where would I get a set of these?(reputable place!) None on eBay in 17 inch and i'd rather not use eBay anyway. Do Want!
Thanks much!

Yes they will fit fine.
That pic is of the coveted 18" style 32s. The ones you saw were also a staggered set. 17x8 up front 17x9 or 9.5 in rear. I have 255/40/17s up front no rubbing and 275/40/17s in back no rubbing even with 5 guys in it, a full trunk, and hitting dips
I still own an e30, but life has picked up speed and I no longer frequent this forum or own my e39. Thanks for 7 years of help everyone!

17 x 8 all around would work, so would 17 x 9 also. With the 9" all around, you could go 255/40-17 tire size all around

Hmmm... if I can fit the 17x9's all around without any rubbing or fitment issues i'd rather do that. I do like a bit wider tire.
Now I just need to find a good place to buy them and not get jacked on the price, lol.
Thanks for the info all!

i have a set of the staggered style 32's in 17 inch. OEM, but in DESPERATE need of refinishing. the coating is peeling off on these wheels (like most other style 32's ive seen for sale, oddly enough)
i mean if you are interested, shoot me a PM. if not, then good luck on your search. style 32's are pretty nice when they're all cleaned up.
yeah , I dont really like my 32's, 17 too small looking for better. If you are looking for 32's I would be willing to possibly sell em!
I got these wheels also on my 540i.. They look pretty good, except that my paint is peeling too now Time for paint i guesss.. good luck finding some OE ones..

If you put Style 32 9's on the front they may be rubbing a little, mine did touch the struts and I put 10mm spacers just to be safe...you will get away with 2-3mm.
