Tim,

Looks rather good to me!, First X5 I've seen in green too

Are they the 21" versions or the 20"?

Tim W · 9th December 2002, 22:24

They are 4.6is 20's. I love the look

me too...look at it from behind maybe on your knees and look on the overall look, not just the wheels and you can see how wide and meaty the X5 then appears with the 4.6is rims on....

Great improvement, specially the wheels IMHO

Tim W · 20th December 2002, 03:06

Looks great....I want to make that conversion....What was the damage for the whole setup??? You can PM me if you don't care to talk about it in the open forum......

It was $4300 shipped. Call Edward at Pacific BMW 1-800-909-PART. That was for the Wheels and the Running boards.

Tell him you know me

Thanks Tim....I think some springs or a coilover kit might be in order too......

Am I crazy to do it to a leased vehicle???

Understand, with respect to the wheels and tire package that I'm going to need to buy new tires for the 19's anyway so that's about 900.....

Mike:

I thought the same thing. Maybe a set of H&R springs up front to drop it a bit.

Yes you are crazy. Just keep the original parts and you can put the car back to stock and sell the parts

Remeber to call Edward. He is a great guy.

Wait, I am crazy to upgrade or I am crazy if I don't....or am I just crazy period...???

Tim W · 23rd December 2002, 18:58

Just plain crazy

Aren't we all..............

Upgrades are nice but the important thing is just keep the stock parts as I hear with a lease they can ding you if you turn it in without the original equipment
