I have a new 2004 X5 3.0 but don't like the stock rims. I wanna get the replica wheel of the 4.6 on ebay (like 800 bucks) and put those on. I dunno about the weight difference so, I do not know if
A) Can I go from 17" to 20: without a problem
B) will the weight difference kill my already weak engine (3.0....compared to the others)
TIA

Yes, you may go up to 20", but the weight difference is very noticable in this change from out experience and customer feedback, especially the change in braking and brake pad wear.
