Bartlett—not to far from you actually! Though admittedly I'm at my office downtown and seeing clients more often than I'm at home, haha.

It's being clay barred and waxed next weekend, so I'll get out the real camera at that point and take/post some good pics.
They did have it as an option so its entirely possible but have never seen it installed. I have the stainless and have seen the red but not the blue.

In for the pics.

Thanks!

Don't let xDrive/AWD fool you into thinking that tires made for summer will get you through winter.
Thanks! No worries—I'm a proponent of putting dedicated winter tires and wheels on any car that has to deal with Chicago's brutality, haha. Currently shopping for a good set for the X5 now actually.
