Do any of you guys know the excact off set specs of the X54.6is wheels.
I can't seem to find any info anywhere.
I'm thinking of some custom wheels from BBS but knowing the off set is vital if they are to made from the BBS Motorsport division.
Just an idea

And why is X5is not M badged as it's fairly well tuned and close in comparison to other M vehicles in hp/liter numbers.
I know it wasn't done by the M division, so that alone maybe the reason?
If you kept the HP per liter the same as the M5 then the X5is would have 370hp. The torque from each of the engines is very much the same.
Most of the difference between the two in HP is just in the compression ratio, lift the X5 from 10.5:1 upto the M5's 11:1 there would be another 20hp just there. Touch and tweek X5's ECU and then you've hit 370hp no probs.
Or are they keeping that 400hp engine for a future big time X5 MMMM edition ??
And when the day comes l will be in line for it.
I wonder what you guys think.
