i found in fact it's bbs mahle 8x15". 7x15" aren't exacly same design.
I think i buy 2x 8x15" (for rear wheels) an 2x 7x15" (for front wheels)

A word of caution.
I had a set of these on a 79 633. I wanted to try them on an E9, but these wheels have very thick hubs, especially the 7" wheels.
They origianlly came with special long lug bolts which worked fine on the 633. The E9 however, will require that you install much longer wheel studs which may be difficult to find.

If the wheels are like this, then they are 15X7 with an offset of ET 11 (same as Alpina's), then they should fit OK.
http://slo.craigslist.org/pts/1887463594.html I scored these yesterday, I was told they came off a E9 coupe but had been sitting in storage for so long at the back of the shop, no one really remembers what they came off of. I spent this morning at the Vandenberg AFB auto hobby shop taking the tires off the rims. The Pirelli P6 (205/60-15) V rated were at least 14 years old, the sidewalls cracked big time when I was removing the rims from the tires. The BBS wheels are going to go on my E3 since 14" performance tires are going the way of the dinosaur. From the same seller, I bought a set of 16" E28 M5 (16x7.5) style 5 wheels with Yoko A008 225/50-16 tires. The M5 wheels used to be on Ping Tsao's E9 coupe. I've already have a buyer for the M5 wheels.
I have a spare set of 15" E34 style 5 wheels but I like the look of the small center cap for an old school car. It's the period correct look. The E34 wheels will soon be up for sale in the parts forum.
I need therapy for this wheel whore addiction.
