Looks Nice!

I like the Euro front bumper without the orange reflectors that we have in the states.

Does your front bumper have caps where our reflectors are or is it one piece?

No it doesn't. It is one piece.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I'll post some detailed pictures of the wheels when the weather gets better. We have heavy rain today and it is rather dark outside. I'll post pictures of the car outside as well.

The wheels just have enough detail (chrome lip and the chrome bolts) not to make it too black.

Dynamic Drive (or adaptive drive as it is now called) wouldn't maker any difference with 22" rims vs 21 or 20. All this system does is manage the pitch and roll of a car. This makes the car more comfortable during acceleration and deceleration and during cornering but it has no influence on making the ride more comfortable because of the rim size.

I had this system on my 630i (with 21" Hartge wheels) and I didn't notice any difference when I was in a 6 series of a friend of mine also equipped with 21" wheels but without the system. The only difference was during cornering as my car had less roll.

The sport pack on the X5 provides for the sport suspension and this was already enough in my opinion. The ride is rougher with the 22" wheels yet very acceptable.
