285/45 19" wheels front and rear?
Has anyone fit 285/45 19's all around rather than staggering fr/r? Any fit problems?

The strut brace is more...

I'm not surprised that the 22"ers are sportier, but what about the ride quality on the rough stuff? I've bent a few wheels in my time driving my 328Ci (w/ 235/40 17's) around in NYC, so I'm always...

Actually, I already have the Diamon-Fusion coating installed, which is similar to Rain-X, but much better.

Wiper issue resolved
Stopped by the dealer yesterday. The service manager decided to just replace the wiper all together rather than fuss with adjusting it... took about 10 minutes - not bad.
Problem solved.

Wiper noise... (?)
Brand-new 2005 X5 - passenger-side wiper on makes a studdering noise on the down-stroke of the last 4-6 inches of glass. You can see it hop a bit, and the water in that section of the windsheild...

Yeah, that makes sense to me too... not equipping the X5 with the Sp package should have been a dead-give away at their ineptitude and bias.
I made an appointment for a strut brace and camber plate...

Dinan Strut Brace, Camber Plates, etc...
I just traded in my 2000 328Ci for a 2005 X5 4.4i Sport... Very happy so far, but I do miss the handling of the 3.
