Hello and welcome, yes they'll fit fine as they are from an e46 3 series, which are a very similar platform and share brakes and engines with the e85/6, I believe some 3.0si came with MV2s or 3s.
For reference the 3.0si sport came with 18s, 8in et47 front and 8.5in et50 rear, so if you stay near those measurements and on standard suspension you'll be fine.

Brilliant news.....thank you very much indeed...no lowering will be taking place....I need ground clearance here in Greece!.....maybe new rear springs/shocks when the time comes...the existing 'Borbets' look similar in many ways....I believe they manufacture many OE wheels for manufacturers including BMW...
