Thanks so much palbay!! I don't think those wheels look that nice for the M. I thought they would be a lot more aggressive.

I'd like to see some real large agressive wheels on the M - that's gonna be nice.

But then large wheels - having a lighter weight aspect (because its a performance vehicle) and then load ratings etc, cos of the size, its not always easy to get everything in a wheel....but if BMW can make it work, or come v.close - then thats gonna be great...

Oh and you're welcome Palbay..

I like the wheels...simple, yet, poignant. Looks like typical ///M performance wheels. Most importantly, they don't seem complicated to clean...I have a hunch they'll grow on me... ...

They kind of look like m6 wheels to me. They might grow on me just like the e70 did.

Hey, thanks for getting and posting the video. I like the sound.

Palbay...

I stripped the audio (what was hear-able) and imported into an audio program to compare against the V8 TT in the X6 50i just to see if i could distinguish a difference. No luck...they sound very similar. Only difference was drone-sound on X6 ///M...possibly when driver let-off throttle... ...

I'm sure the sound must be worlds apart in-person. Anyhoo we've waited this long...a few more months won't hurt to witness the real thing in action. I assume that if the TTV8 can clock 4.8sec in 0-60 then the ///M's will leave competitors eating Bavarian tailpipe!

Oh and thanks for your fantastic work Agent 00P!

Your welcome.....and WOW....that's some serious analysis!!! Maybe BMW has tuned the X"M"'s to sound a little like V10's as a bone to the M fans who really wanted the M5 V10 in the X"M"'s I'm working on getting better quality audio.Thanks! PalBay

Hey,
new to the forum.
I just bought a 2009 x5 4.8l M Sport today. I was told by my dealer that the X5 wouldn't change until 2011, other than the iDrive and a few minor things? I tried waiting for the new iDrive X5, but the wait was getting to long so I closed the deal. Anyone know when this TT X5 comes out? 2010?
