Congrats!!

Great choice on the X5. I was going to suggest that you avoid retrofitting the navigation. Although it can be done, it would be extremely cumbersome and expensive. If you want an in-dash navigation,...

sorry to be a newbie

What is a wheel arch and why do you need it to be legal. I live in Virginia and I have never heard of this in an inspection....

FYI I just bought some 20' staggered wheels. Should I be concerned?
