The style 215 just went up in price! In Canada they used to be CD$5800 last month and now they are CD$6500! U.S. dealers are asking ~ US$5200 or so.

ferric gray always nice with darker body colors. And now you won't have to worry about brake dust as much either.

Keep it. I have the 214's and yeah.. they are nice but the gun metal color and the thinner design of the 215's- oh man they look nice!

BTW, which camera did you use?? Did you wax the car or did the dealer do it for you?

y5choi: I am keeping the 215s. I think they look great. I just have to be careful around the curbs not to scratch them. I used a Nikon D60 SLR (2008 model) camera to shoot pics of my car. The camera is awesome. I read your previous post about tailgate noise and possible remedies. Unfortunately, I tried your technique of putting foam on top of the problem but the noise is still not going away. The dealer said that I have one year from the date of purchase (September 2008) to bring in the car and fix all noises and rattles so I have made an appointment to have them look at this noise again. Apparently they have some PUMA measures about this.

I did not wax the car. I just washed it by hand myself.

If I were you I would also swap out the bright orange reflector up front.

eBay Motors: BMW X5?E70 FRONT EURO BUMPER SIDE REFLECTOR LIGHT?CLEAR (item 190299302328 end time May-06-09 12:30:32 PDT)

That has before and after pics for space gray too.

It's a fairly simple job on paper (especially on the 3.0) even if it takes a little bit of elbow grease. There's another thread about it if you are interested.

My wife says it looks like a "flower" wheel from a distance,
for both the 214 and 215 style wheels.
214 is NA style and 215 is Euro style.

I like the 215 too but decided on the 214 because of the edgier look.
I really like the Ferric grey, that would look great on my Sapphire black too.

Seen replicas on ebay if any is interested but don't want to pay the $6K
