Well as far as the 5-series, I checked and they're 120 (I wondered about the BMW stock 18's myself)... my friend has a late model 3-Series and we tried his stocks on my car and the lug patter was slightly smaller too... so I'm going off of that.

correct me if I'm wrong, but our wheels are hub-centric right? So the adapter would have to be a hub-centric one as well?

Yessir. Most companies send a aluminum or plastic collar to center the wheels when you put them on.
