It seems that X-bimmers on very low profile tires are very sensitive to potholes. Especially with run-flat-tires.

After spending S$535 on the Saturday morning the tire was eventually replaced with a new one :-)
I ripped mine on standard '17's. That's why I would never even consider having low profile tires in M'sia. Although they look really good. Anyways, congrats on the X5 ! Looks absolutely amazing.

That wheel seems to be missing an ///M badge...

Congrats on the new ride!

It looks like you've got comfort rear seats on there - altho I don't seem them in your spec list. Any chance of a couple more pictures?

I'm ordering my car in black / ivory also, and the comfort seats don't look good in the "simulator" on the website in the mixed color, but seem to look *awesome* on your car.

What are your thoughts on this feature?

We're really loving the new F15 X5 and the M50d so far. It's fun that so many of you enjoyed the pictures, the car spec and the winter wheel setup. The ride is fantastic even with 22" and all the options are very nice.

Spring and summer time will hopefully come very soon and then it's time to upgrade to 23x11" 315/25

1 set of 22" X6M replicas wheels are for sale. Unused!

Amazing design and finish of the wheels, really nice but now I'm confused on which set to use on summertime since I also ordered a set of X6M replicas. What do you think? X6M replicas or these..

Car rides just perfect, 22" doesn't change that much I believe and I have had it before on numerous X5 E70s without any problems. X5 almost begs for 21-22" as the 5 series needs 20-21" in my honest opinion.

The F15 is so much better on almost everything compared to the older E70. The chassi and feeling of it is more like the 5 and 6 series, with X-drive of course. The quality feels like a german BMW now and you can feel it from when you enter the car and when you sit down you will experience the great upgrades from older X5s. And the systems in this car are quite intelligent and modern so it really feels like a brand new car from the inside and out.

The M50d engine is, powerful, a beast on diesel. Power and performance is given at all times and with perfect traction due to the 4WD, damper controls and active steering features. This is a real beast in disguise!
Oh man....I solo want the M50d here in the States

Enjoy the ride bros - that is one serious beastie...

22" Winter wheel set off - 23" Summer wheel set on

Spec

23x11 x 4 Hartge Classic II Forged with 315/25/23 Conti's

Ride is still flawless, M50d and chassi makes it either real smooth or sporty by sport mode.

Sorry for the crappy mobile pics, bad quality and angles, will post better pics when I have done a real photoshoot

Did you buy them from a dealer in Sweden or did you import?

Great car, congrats, looks Awesome. Active steering is not an option wth M50d (i guess AS cant handle all that torque or smthg) . I agree that badging looks horrible on photos but in real life I LIKE IT, its kind of shaded titanium look and looks great! Enjoj the car!

I'm really interested in these wheels. How is the ride, is it stiff? Is the steering stiffer because of the wider tires in front? Any rubbing? Any stability problems, due to the Swedish roads?

Do you have TPM sensors in them so you get correct tire pressure info in the iDrive screen?

I can find them on hartge.de for 3900 EUR which is a lot cheaper than BMW 21" M performance

Where in Stockholm is the car? I would love to see it IRL
