No spacers, just normal staggered fitment from what I know. I do have the extended arches on order, I'll add pics once they're on. The blue is great, similar to Lemans blue which I had on my 06 X5.
Not sure about the drop, get some decent snow around here!

Interesting tread design. Looks like it pumps all the road water outward. Must really piss-off the pedestrians!

The tires are Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta. My first time trying this on any vehicle. I have not tried them in the rain yet, but on dry pavement they definitely handle amazing. I find the ride smoother (as does my wife) than the stock 18" Bridgestone RFT's.
I was leary to try this brand, but after reading many positive reviews had to give them a try. Some of the info I found is at http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...ns-anyone.html

Are vreds rated as all-season or summer-only tires?

They are summer tires, however they handle incredibly in the wet. They are not winter tires (as with all summer tires really). Get in on the group buy before it ends!

Found these, 50i M Sport, Black Sapphire

I just noticed that the bronze 50 that they showed in the pics on the first page had the 214's yet you can't get the 50 with them... hmmmm..

So they completely removed the front reflector and replaced it with a camera? I thought you had to have it in the US.

I didn't read all 47 pages, so lmk if this has been said yet; why are there few pix about 3/4 into the shoot with a different bronze 5.0? Notice the license plate going from South Carolina to California, but it looks like the same car though.

X5 D on Order....Wait a little???
 

New X5 Diesel Owner Shortly...with press release I am rethinking .....

With some of the upgrades coming this Spring (when is that?) do you think it's worth the wait? It seems some of the options are pretty nice upgrades.

I also wonder could some of the new upcoming phone and radio upgrades be added to my vehicle:dunno: later at a reasonable price if I take delivery now?

If anyone has some thoughts let me know....Thanks....

Wait for 2012 models in April.
