However, tire choices are extremely limited with 21's, but at least with the tires that are available there's good brands, not so much with 22's.

If you aren't planning to lower it I'd avoid 22's for sure, your X5 will look silly with huge wheels/tiny sidewalls w/ stock wheel gap. 22's can only be pulled off if lowered on coilovers, IMO. Not to mention, unless you have an upgraded brake kit, the tiny stock rotors on your 35i will look pretty dumb behind 22's.
So, to be clear, the only advantage is looks?
