Wink Hi X5world!

Hi all!

I'm a new member from Down Under who's recently purchased a 2001 E53 X5 4.4L in titanium silver.

I've been reading a lot on this forum and have listened to all your great advice about everything. Most recently about new HID Xenon replacements for the X5. I've got a new set of them from that fishcake guy from eBay. He did a combo deal with interior LED's as well. All up it cost me about US$465 plus shipping out to Oz.
I'm going to get them professionally installed on Monday. I'll post pics after that.

One thing I've noticed on this forum is there's a great sense of comradery amongst everyone. I guess its the one thing that brings us altogether...that is, BMW X5's.
Anyhow, that's my little rant and I'll talk to you later when I post up my pics.

Ciao!

CroC

Hey mate,

What do you mean by "not staggered?" I think they're just your standard factory 20" rim option from the current available sets in Oz.

LeMans - I believe you are correct! They look like possible rep. 168's.....the fronts.....on both the front and rear! 168, oem or reps should be staggered.

Good catch!
