Just got my X6M 2 days before vacation...needless to say my mind is on my new M.

I had a previous X6 M sport where I went M performance mad...

2 months later my new gem into my lap.
Present day.

Next Monday I get to change my mods to the M.

I loved the 599's on the M sport but can't seem to find pics with them on the M.

Going back and forth...
Keep the 612's or change to the 599.

Let me know your thoughts cause I'm so undecided at the moment.
At Disney with the family.

Wife and I are going to LA for 5 days.
Won't be thinking of the M...lol

Maybe I'll get them put on just to be certain, and if they still don't look good I'll just grab the P Zeros off and swap.

I had 375s on my X5 and then switched to 599s and really regret it.

Man I'm going crazy over this.
I love the 599's...they really look tuff cause they dive in...
If I don't like them, I'll paint the 612's black...

Pics to show off then we can judge.
I'm staying positive.

Keep the 612s

Get the best of both worlds

Im clearly in the minority here but I like the 599s and am considering this same swap for an X5M. Yes, you risk looking like a 50s, but I like the chunkier/more detailed look of the 599 and it will still look badass.

You can use the 599 for the winter and use the 612 for the summer. But the 599 look way too narrow and inside the fender for that body. You need wider wheels, that is where the 612 will help. But this is just my opinion, doesn't mean I'm correct and you are wrong. You do what makes you happy.

I agree totally with you...
I was going to try 10mm spacers...
And maybe put the MSS to fill the gap from the tapered sidewall.

Thanks and appreciate the feedback.
