Wheel pattern difference?

What's the difference between 5X120 and 5X120.65?
Are they the same?

5 Holes equally spaced on a 120 mm or 120.65 mm bolt circle.

1. Difference is 0.65 mm
2. Are they the same - No
3. Are the wheels interchangeable probably - this is only 0.025" difference.

For BMW, I thought 5X120 is the only option we have.
But, now some wheel companies are making 5X120.65 pattern.
I wonder why they are making this pattern wheels.
Any idea why?

My guess and a quick check with the calipers on the Z 4's 19" 296"s and my wifes 325 - the wheel bolt circle is in that range. BMW just calls it 5 x 120 for simplicty. Splitting hairs to put it simply.
