Teaser pics: X3 with summer set

[AzNMpower32]

On Saturday afternoon, I installed the 18" summer wheels and tires that I ordered from Tire Rack a few days ago. For me, it is an upsize; I've been running on the 17" for quite awhile.

Here's a cell phone pic, since the weather and time wasn't cooperating for a good car wash and photoshoot. Look for a full set of pictures in the future.

Based on a couple days' drive, including the ride back down to Charlottesville, I feel there NO side effects at all. The tires need to break in fully to get a full picture, but so far, I think ride quality has even improved slightly!

Interestingly, when I started the car on an incline after stopping at a gas station, the car threw a combo of warning lights that indicated DSC, xDrive, and ABS had all failed. I drove a couple miles, pulled over, turned it off, locked the door, unlocked it, and restarted. All faults cleared.
