i cannot understand BMW charging differently for identical 618 alloys depending on whether i intend to put them on a 7 series or 5 series.

maybe the BMW website is incorrect...
I think the website has the G30 set priced and labeled wrong. There is a slight price increase for the 5er, but that is due to the tires, not the wheels, in addition to the slightly longer fitting time required. EU/UK have a new mandate going into effect and it's limited by the registration date so the G11 stock is being discounted (and only for cars up to 12/16 reg). All G30 are required to have the new noise compliant version to pass MOT and avoid fines during the winter season (especially if driving on the continent).
