Hi jamesdoags,

The flairs make the X5 look alittle better but you can get away without them. As for ride no big change but pushing 315 tyres and had having both 19" & 20" the economy does drop a little. I got the feeling it cost me around 3/4 of a litre per 100klm, I could not my 3.0sd down under 10.4 whereas with 19" I was getting around 9.6ltr (that's city & country combined)
