big difference between 21" and 19"

Does anyone know if there is a big difference in E70 X5 between 19" and
21" wheels. Is the comfort still OK, I mean without the adaptive drive option, or is it uncomfortable.
Is the someone who did let go the sport suspension for this reason ?

There will be a ride difference for sure, and if you go with a wider tire on the larger wheel you will feel more road pull.

are the 20 inch wheels a bit more comfier than the 21 inch wheels? i have the ferric grey and mi thinking of switching to 20". these ones: (btw, the 20s remind me of the lambo Gallardo wheels)



i love the 21" ferric grey ones, but since my wife would be driving it, it ferric great attract too much attention, here is my car:



i want her car to be a bit more conservative instead of that rugged sporty feel, i just don't want other to think she "Wanna race" typa' thing

you know what i means?

i have an E60 M5 for that!

Are you in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?
The exact car you have is what sold me on the X5 and the color space gray. It might have been your car because it looked 100% the same. I saw it driving in Jumeirah and decided I wanted a space gray 4.8 with grey 215's and the aero kit.
Ended up getting a space grey 4.8 m sport a couple weeks later

20 vs 21 isn't going to be a real difference, the issue is the wider tire and smaller side wall.

issues in what sense? th 20" have slighly thicker profile, which should give a bit morr comfort. plusi like the 20" with those hexagonial type of design, plus they don't always look dirty like my 21" ferric grey!

btw, would the 20s change handling in any way as far as stability and handling since the rear tires are not as wide as the 21s?

You've been asking this for a long time. 20" factory (OEM) wheels are the cheapest from Morristown BMW. Check the "Accessories Forum sponsored by Morristown BMW" for their deal on it. I doubt you will find a cheaper price if you want to stay factory and not replica.

I might have some 214's FS towards the end of July; not sure yet if I'll keep them or not it all depends how the 215's look one the deep sea blue.
