Hay Bimmer 360 saw your post stating you used a iphone, then saw the apple logo on you X5...ha ha..well I'm a Apple fan boy too...

I got my X5 hooked with the Dice kit, so I just pop my iphone in the cradle...got the 24" iMac G5 Alluminum, Airport Extreme, thinking of getting a Apple TV now...

Just nice to see a Apple Fanboy on a X5 Fanboy site..just like me..

Done.

Your call! Either will look good... Just take off your mudflaps first though if you wanna show off the tires

(Then replace the Michelins with Yokohama Advans since theyre 3/4" wider!)

I know. The mudflaps were on it when I bought it. I want to take them off, but don't want the mess on the side of the X!

I don't have Michelins anymore. I replaced them with Toyo Proxes in November.

4.4 tips look good on a 4.4, 4.6/4.8 tips look good on a 4.6/4.8. The 4.4 tips look great imo, esp the black chrome sport ones.

I will be getting the Advans next.

M, you need a good welder. I remember seeing a post where the welder welded crooked and he had to go back.
