I'm really not looking forward to having to buy wheels.. So educate me.. What's it gonna cost.. - And I want to retain the ride feel that BMW intended..

Can I put other BMW wheels on the car? Like the wheels from the 4.8is?
B, look at other BMW wheels and get the dealer to do a swap. Make that part of your deal. The wheels should be the same size and offset as the current E70. I think they should retro the style 87's with a ///M logo and use that as the standard X5///M wheel. The E53 4.6is was ahead of it's time. That should've been the launch of the ///M version.......Phil
