X5 3.0sd M Sport with 21" Style 128 Wheels Arrived

[jayo]

Congrats on your new ride - looks lovely.

How do you find the 21" wheels on country roads?

Also, how do you like the chrome roof rails. I have ordered them on mine to match the chrome window surrounds.

Thanks Jayo,

The 21" wheels are great on the country roads. The car feels like it has loads of grip in comparison to my 530i M Sport espically with the adaptive drive sport mode. Ive only drove it in nice weather so things might be a lot different in the wet or more so if there is a frost (will be scarey if it snows, but thats not very often here). The wheels are scarely wide! But I can't say I feel much if any difference in ride quality over the 20" wheels.

Personal opinion but if your going with the chrome window surrounds you have to go for the chrome roof rails to balance it out.

Best bit is the ride height, I can finally see over the stone walls and hedges on these country roads which makes taking bends so much safer!

Congratulations on your X5 dwarfer. It looks absolutely great! And I really like the clean modern look that the aluminum trim gives the interior.
Have lots of fun with it!

Nice Dwarfer!
I agree- when seeing the 21" initially it was a shock to my system!
She's a beauty!

Cheers,
