I was in Mcds drive thru.....

Its one of those ones that curve a fair amount and there are two lanes.

I was about to order when a guy from behind comes up to my X5s window and says

"Just want to let you know, you may scrape pretty hardcore against the curve if you keep your steering angle the same"

I could have hugged the guy! I do find driving for the first timer with 20" rims the odd thing like this occurs.

I told him this baby is my pride and joy and thanks!!!!

He laughed and said he had one as well and knows the feeling.

Bimmer drivers might not have the jeep wave but we do look out for one another.

Anytime I’m near low curbs in a parking lot, drive-thru, or exit drive…I just activate PDC/surround view. You obviously have to have the guidelines activated, too.

If I activate PDC and rear view is on the screen, all you have to do is press downward on the iDrive controller.

Below…4 examples of my f06 and 1 example of my f15

Nice guy. I grinded my old 550 wheel very hard in a drive thru before. Late and tired and just trying to get some food
