The difference is 5x120mm (BMW) and 5x120.7mm(GM) I've seen cheapo chinese wheels that were farther off. Yes the 100% correct way is to use a adapter, but many have done it w/o and have no issues.
Agreed, I've looked into BMW wheels as well. The GM pattern is 5x120.65, so an even smaller difference. But let's say it's .7mm.

To get a visual on that, grab a mechanical pencil and give it a few clicks. The lead is probably .7mm thick. Now shave it in half so it's only .35mm thick. That's the difference in hole spacing we're talking about.

Most aftermarket wheels are not hub centric either.
