Can I fit the wheels from a 2005 3 Series to my new BMW F31?

I’m in the process of replacing my 2005 BMW 330D E91 with a new F31 edition. Can I swap the wheels and winter tyres to the new car?

The tyre sizes are different. F31s generally have slightly deeper profile to give a better ride. All you can do is try them, obviously front wheels first as front wheels always have the biggest brakes.
