22 inch is a wallet braker for me

The rims on yours look big enough because of the colour and the design. I had 21" on my initial order as well until I decided to go for black and since this colour makes rims look smaller I decided to go for 22".

Enjoy the cruise along our Rivièra

Agreed on the rim size/colour perception

See you in Knokke

Very, very nice car Hans! (Cruisen in Knokke lijkt deze dagen eerder op windsurfen in dat hondenweer )

I saw your car up for sale at Kapaza.be, hopefully it is already sold.

Why not buying an X5 in Belgium. Is Germany cheaper or just quicker delivery?

Excellent choice. The aerokit makes a massive difference!

(Inderdaad, en vandaag kan er zelfs in t binnenland gesurft worden )

My old one is sold yes. I looked for a spacegrau in Belgium, but couldn't find one which had the 'right' options. Most of the E70's for sale here are black cars. So I went to germany Prices are also a bit lower there, but most important of all : a lot of cars to choose from !

Picked up the new car today ! It drives absolutely brilliant, way more solid than the E53. Adaptive drive is great! Active steering aswell. I also love the comfort seats, never experienced such a good sitting position with my previous sport seats.
The only negative point are the running boards. The black rubber 'dots' are pressed through the metal when you step on them. Called the dealer, but as expected, they are clueless

Congratulations, I like the wheels. Now I am confused whether to go with those wheels or 22" aftermarket ones.

Congrats. Running boards look nice but they are a pain the a$$ getting in and out of the car. Never noticed the problem with the black rubber dots. I'll need to check this out.

Enjoy in good health.
