Mike,
BMW pulled a fast one with the 50i and is using the style 210 wheels on those. I have a 2007 x5 3.0 with no ZAP and those are the wheels - 18" 5 spoke. They are nice, I guess, but in no way worth of a twin turbo v8. They only upgrade is via options. ZAP gives you 19" 335 or ZAP + 20 give you 20" 336. Both look flowery to me but provide a better, more aggressive stance. I ordered the 336 after considering going non sport and getting the x6m wheels on my own (the are the best looking ones in my opinion). I decided against the x6m route b.c of the pain-in-the-butt factor (replicas, mail order, getting the proper flares so the 20's dont stick out, etc) and b.c I plan on getting a proper winter setup for the 4 months of winter in NY and to keep my wife happy.
you can also go with M-sport which offer 19" and have a 20" upgrade but its not an option I would consider.
