So I too am conflicted about having ordered my x5 M Sport with the 20" M sport wheels. Like most people here I find the sport 20's to look smallish on comparison to the aggressive look of the body kit on the M Sport models.
I was further confused when I realize that what looked like the y spoke options on this pic below are actually a BMW Performance aftermarket option. See below:
I also wanted to confirm whether trading the 469's for 451 would also mean losing the M emblem since the 451' are typically not a sport wheel.
My SA advised that the y spokes do not look right with the M sport body as they are a bit more rugged looking and in his opinion would look better on an X-Line.
Can anyone post some side by side pics or at least some pics of what the 451's look like on a M Sport model? I have a side by side from the configurator but this looks much different then the other real life pics I have seen. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
