Style 69 in 19-inch? 🤔

[HofmeisterKink]

I’m hoping someone can help. My X5 is currently sporting 19” Style 132s, which I like, but I’ve always loved Style 69 alloys.

bmwstylewheels.com says Style 69 only came in 18”, and that’s all I’ve ever seen for sale. I don’t want to drop to 18”, so I was set on keeping my Style 132s — until I got my hands on a 2005 X5 accessories brochure that lists ‘Star Spoke 69’ in 19” ! 😍 - photos attached.

What’s going on? Is the BMW brochure wrong? Is bmwstylewheels.com inaccurate? Are my perfect wheels out there somewhere?!! I’d love to know either way! 🙂

P.S. Let me know if you’re interested in seeing anything else in the brochure. I think it’s fun.

A lot of the sports pack models here in Australia were shipped with those rims.

My 2005 3.0D has them as standard.

Edit: I'd like to see more of the brochure if you're keen to share

Those aren't 69. I'm trying to figure out which but i sought out 69 for my 01 and came across that style as an option.

I only ever saw 18s but that's what i needed anyhow.

My 2011 came with honeycomb style 19s but i still have mounted 69s and hub spacers that will let me use the older wheels on the newer car.

Edit: i misunderstood. You are dating the 132 were a common option for sport model.

The part number for the style 69 doesn't exist on real OEM?

Excuse my mistake, the 132 rims look the same, I just thought the brochure pic made the spokes look slightly narrower due the angle

My car came with 69 let me see. Well moot point they were 18s.

Some searching with that part number would indicate it was a set of Style 63 wheels. So the brochure could have wrong information.

Too bad. 69 is the best styler! When my 53 was wretched, i kept the 69s for snow tires for my 70!

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for all of the responses!

So we’re saying that they never made Style 69 in 19inch and that the brochure is wrong… that’s a shame. I’d love some 19” Style 69s.

I wonder how many people tried asking for these back then 😆

Ever ride on 18s? I was very happy with my 69 18s. Enough that i kept them when i upgraded to 2011.
