The z3 2 piece style 42s are staggered at 7.5 inches wide up front and 8.5 inches in the rear. They have a shallow lip up front and a deeper lip in the rear.

The e39 2 piece style 42s are square with all the rims 8 inches wide. They have a much deeper lip than either of the z3 wheels. And as others have stated the offset is much lower.

The offset won't be the biggest issue, it's the bore size. E39 uses a 74.1 mm bore, E36 uses 72.6. It's an easy fix. Style 42's are the some of the best looking factory BMW wheels IMO.
