Put on the Red BBS center caps on one side of the car just to see if i like them more than the black caps. I'm torn 50/50. I like them but i also like the black CF looking caps the wheels came with too. I might just keep one side like this so I get to enjoy both lol



Black for reference

Red draws more attention, but it goes well with your fully modified theme.

FWIW... I think the red draws too much attention to the wheels. As gorgeous as they are... you should want the focus to be on the car. You want eyes on the shadowlines which make the car look very sleek and linear. The center caps look like bullseyes and my eyes immediately focus on them. Just my two cents.

Wow Alan, how did I miss this thread, congrats on a great looking X5.

Great choice going with those BBS wheels.

BTW, you need to update your profile.

How are the Pirelli Scorpion tires? They don't have good reviews on tire rack, but neither did the P-zeros I had before, but they performed well for me.

Shopping for tires and the Pirellis are significantly less than Michelin PSS

Pirellis wouldn't be my first choice of tires but at 22" size you don't have many options. They feel good for a SUV so far and rides worlds better than the Pirelli RFTs on my 469M

They let a little more road noise through when the asphalt is crappy, but hey they are thinner wall so that is to be expected. Otherwise the ride is superior than the RFTs that came with the car.

Alan! I haven't been on-line for awhile. Looks like we have similar taste in vehicles. Your X5 looks great. I was looking at those BBS wheels as I have loved my BBS on the F10. But wife shot me down… Keep up the modding!

BTW, I don't think people know how much of a bitch those reflectors are. I have had them sitting in my garage for a year now but haven't had the courage to tackle those rivets.

I think aftermaket parts make your car unique. Not sure how it is in other parts of the world or even some parts of the U.S, but in NYC X5's are everywhere.
The 20" M sport wheels look amazing but your car looks like every other M sport with the same wheels. Add some wheels and a lip, your car is 1 of 1.
