Thank you! I wanted Alpine White on Black with Sport package and 3.0 for a long time and it finally happened.
No plans on changing wheels. I find 18" 131 wheels one of my favorite wheels and they're big enough to look ok (I think that 17" on E53 X5 are simply too small) and small enough to have softer ride when compared to 19" and 20".
Don't have 87's on 4.6. I never liked them personally and sold them and then bought 171's from dealer and they are currently on it. I just find them better looking personally.
But, wheels are really personal preference and I know many like 87's.
Plus, I wouldn't like 20" wheels on 3.0 as there would be big gap due to smaller 3.0 brakes. I really hate any car with big ass wheels and then tiny brake discs inside.
