I make it a point to follow her X5. I just love the stance on the staggered OEM 20s. Waiting for OP to tell me how useless my staggered 20s are.

No one in their right mind, seeing the X5 from the back (or any angle for that manner) could honestly feel the staggered 20's are useless on this vehicle!

There's no shame in a no-line X5 on poverty spec donut 18s.

I'm not going to read the results of the test; I really don't care. As for resale, we keep our cars waaayyyy longer than most. We traded in a 2004 MDX with 175K miles for the X5 (yes, MSport) that we currently have.
did I need to get the full-on MSport w/LED, parking assist, and all the other goodies? NO, but once I decided to get a BMW, it was all in (maybe not all the way...still can't afford a X5M). If I simply needed a basic SUV, I would have purchased a Honda Pilot; I went through the Honda phase and wanted a BMW because "I can". I like the LED's, and compared to the Xenons on my 535, they "seem" brighter. The important thing is, the X5 is my wife's DD and SHE likes the LED's. When you've been married for 37 years, you'll understand that the incremental pricing I paid for the LED's was worth it. I don't have to justify that incremental expense to anyone. And yes, when I pull into the garage and see those 20" tires greeting me with a rear end view, I smile each and every time.

Congratulations, you are a smart Man to have lasted that long (I've been married 17, together 21). I'm sure you live by a few mottos, one being "Happy Wife, Happy Life." Secondly, I smile every time I see the derrière of my X5 (even though it only has non-staggered 19's for now) and I'm sure when I upgrade to the stag-20's I'll bust out the Kool-Aid "OH YEAH!!!" smile from that point forward. For those who have ventured back to the forum because of this thread, you picked a good time to jump back in!!! Last edited by Dirty Cash; 07-28-2017 at 10:09 AM.. |

My first few questions of many to the sales guy at BMW were:
-is it the full Msport package? -Does it have LED headlights? -does the satellite in space zoom in for the overhead view? In that order. Those are the 3 options that I feel is a must for me. |

while this is not a perfect comparison since it is not an x5 v. x5 this is what the led x5 headlights look like versus oem e-code hid 4L Q7 headlights w/ autobahn mode enabled (Philips XV50 4300k Bulbs). same roads, similar speeds at same time of year neither have their brights on... lower photo is same driveway same time of year low beam and high beam:
(Euro Spec Headlights on the 4L Q7 put out 20% more light and have a sharper cut-off than their NAR counterparts.)
