Similar to most

BMW lug patterns

, the bolt pattern from the 2007 BMW 328i is 5x4.72 or 5 on 4.72. If you’re unsure about what these numbers mean, don’t worry. Bolt patterns are easy to understand once you know what the numbers are communicating. Every bolt pattern, also known as a lug pattern, can be expressed as:

# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form

In the 2007 BMW 328i’s case, a 5x4.72 bolt pattern means that each wheel has 5 bolts forming a circle that’s 4.72 inches wide.

It’s important to know your vehicle’s bolt pattern when purchasing a new set of wheels, but it’s also crucial that you know other key wheel specs—such as stud size, wheel offset, center bore measurement, and torque specifications—before you shop for a new set.

Here are your BMW’s key wheel specifications:

Factory wheel size: 16”

Stud size: M12x1.5

Offset: 30-36

Center bore: 72.6 mm

Wheel tightening torque: 115 Nm

How to measure your BMW 328i’s bolt pattern

The information above about your 2007 BMW 328i’s wheels should be sufficient for shopping for a new set of wheels, but if you’re interested in learning how to measure your car’s bolt pattern yourself, you’ve come to the right place.

It’s easy to measure your car’s bolt pattern at home. All you need is a measuring tape or ruler and a few minutes. Place the end of the measuring tape on the outer edge of any bolt and measure to the center of the bolt opposite to it. Since the BMW 328i only has 5 bolts, you’ll need to choose either of the nearest bolts opposite from your starting point.

This measurement is your diameter. Combine this number with the number of bolts in each wheel, and you have your bolt pattern!
