those wheels on spyshots are same as on my e70 35d. I am guessing yes, compatible.

OEM stock 18s and 20" 214s in spy shots... so yes is my guess

Any ideas on the wheelbase and length of the new X5? Both appear longer than the current model, but it's hard to tell, and may be more a factor of the body lines and camo than anything else. The F10 has a slightly longer wheelbase, around 1.5" I think, so perhaps that is it.

One thing that I like is that it looks a bit less chunky than the E70, especially around the rear quarters. There appears to be a taper, whether real or just a visual trick, towards the rear of the car. On my E70 I still marvel at how big it can seem from the rear, but how small the cargo space is by comparison. It's like there must be lots of extra space in the rear quarters!

Probably the same size as current X5 or one inch longer.

Send PM to member Palbay. He is local there and often posts spy shots. He can tip you on where to go looking.

Kink is exposed! As I had mentioned earlier this will be the X-series SAV design trade mark.

The tail pipes made me throw my coffee all over my keyboard.
