looking for how much it will move the wheel out.
If you mean adapters, it depends on the offset of the BMW wheels. There are medium-offset BMW wheels (+13, +15, +20, +23mm, etc as found on the 7/5-series BMW's) that don't require adapters or spacers, which is why people like to run them in spite of the wheel pattern mismatch.

You could run the high-offset BMW 3-series wheels and use an adapter to convert the wheel pattern from 5x120.65 to 5x120 and make up the difference in offset to fit your car. Again, spacer thickness will depend on the wheel width and offset.

HTH,
