I'm guessing 3.0 with the oval tips mod.

Sorry for the delay...it's a 3.0 loaded minus the sports and 3rd row seating...the rims are 21 cause I didnt want to have the 22 thinking it was going to be rough but to my surprize it rides better than the 18 rf....called Hartge in Germany and they worked with me to come up with the 21 inch solution

So did you go with the BMW recommended size 21" Dunlop RF tires or a different size? I couldn't really find any other tires in 21"...

Where did you get the 4.8 exhaust tip and how much are they? I am thinking to change round tip to square.

I saw the 4.8 exhaust tips on Ebay a few days ago. Check it out.

Very nice!

Are those wheels hard to clean? I'm so use to the simplicity of the 5 spoke design, that the 214 (Y-spoke) are a pain.

Which tires did you mount on those wheels? I am also currently in the market for wheels right now, but cannot find any RFTs in 21" other than Dunlops.
