New member and new summer tires

[HHR]

Hi,

first time in this forum.
Car is X5 3,0sd -08 with two tone aerokit, mudflaps, 9 x 20" alloys and little oversize 275/45-20 Continental Cross Contact UHP tires.
I was afraid about 20", but luckily they seems to be more comfort and guiet than original 18" runflats.
At this point one battery changed (allthough original was so called AGM battery) and right upper wishbone changed from 0 to -30min to get right camber correction in front.

like that color

Welcome to X Outpost, that certainly is a stunning color and the 2 tone aero kit looks great.

Welcome. Very nice wheels.

Is that a special order paint color? BMWNA must be color blind...just look at the color palette that's available on the X5 for North America. It looks almost as if it was printed in black and white. Amazingly, there isn't a red shade available (other than Imola on the 4.6/4.8iS) for quite sometimes now

Vermillion (sp?) Red is available on the X5 in the states. Same color as on the X6. There is one at my dealer. Not a listed color, but special order I think.

In Europe it´s normal color called Vermillion red, code A82 since 2008.
It´s available for X6 too.

Yeah...I just noticed that Vermillion red is available in North America, but only on the newly introduced 35d X5. It's still absent on the 30i and 48i.

The one at my dealer is a 48i. I think a pic of one at a Southwest dealer was posted before.
