Y 451 vs M 469 Wheels
Is there any difference between these wheels. I like the style better of the 451 and since it is no charge upgrade with M sport, I am going with the 451.. Does anyone has a pic?
20" Light alloy Y-Spoke wheels style 451-with performance run-flat tires Front: 20x10.0, 275/40 R20 Rear: 20x11.0, 315/35 R20 20" M Light alloy Double Spoke wheels style 469M-with performance run-flat tires Front: 20x10.0, 275/40 R20 Rear: 20x11.0, 315/35 R20 |

451's look way better imo....The 469 look tiny for some reason. I felt the same about the wheels on X6 5.0 Sport Activity vs X6M on current model. Somehow theyre both 20's but the 469's just don't look nice imo

My SA was able to modify the order to add the 451s without any additional charge. I have a M sport package.

That being said, the 469M in 20" and the 19" M package both have a M-marking on the rim and if not mistaken, the 469M will be the same wheels that the true x5M will be using. So I am on the fence now... |

Does anyone have any replacement cost for the 451 and 496M rims? Perhaps this may be considered to decide if $950 469M option is worth it or not... other than for the looks of it

swap

On the BMW build website, the 451s are $950 less than the 469s. If anyone reading this wants to work a swap (your 451s for my 469s) contact me quickly. It could save you $950 while you still get the wheels you want. Otherwise I am going to order another car and wait another 6 weeks for what I want. My car is scheduled to be delivered at the end of January. |

Wow, that is a big difference in unsprung mass when you times the difference by 4! Lighter wheels have a significant effect on handling and performance. |

I would not worry too much about the weight of these wheels. If you guys forgot, these are 5,000 lb. SUVs (SAV to be exact). I would just go with what design you like. Personally, I ordered mine with the 451s. In my opinion they look better, and I don't care if they're not a true M wheel like the 469s because these are not X5Ms. They are standard X5s with the M-Sport package. The fact that they are a no cost option makes it even better.

I have ordered the 469M wheels and my dealer or BMW changed it to the 451 without even telling me. I just found it out last week and my car arrived yesterday at the dealer, will pick it up tomorrow. Personally I like the style of the 451 more than the 469M and I save $950.

I'm a little pissed this wasn't available when we ordered. I'm pretty happy with the M sport 19's. But that is large in part because I didn't like the 469's. 451's I would have taken, even if they too were a $950 upgrade. Free? no brainer. |
