Adaptors / convertors to make them fit, not cheap however.

BMW wheels are notoriously low offset so by the time you've got your PCD adaptors on you'll be looking at about ET5 which means that you'd need an insane amount of arch work and camber.

Which is a shame, because I'd love a set of these:

Correcto, but with the turbine fascia rather than the throwing stars.

The turbine fascia was designed to pull air onto the brakes at high speed. :nerd:
