I have a really good deal on OEM style 300 rims with tires: $1,200
They were on my list, but not #1, also they are 20" and I wanted 21".
So I'm debating if I should get them as they are only 3 weeks old, perfect condition, only $1200. Or should I wait and for sure pay more for 21", I might even have to go with replicas.
The 300 do look good on 2009, 4.8 - Black Saphire, with running boards and aero kit, that's what I have.
Any advices?

]]> X5 (E70) Forum JDav http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e70-forum/75517-my-new-x5-tailgating.html My e53 was totaled this morning. Moving to an e70. http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e70-forum/75515-my-e53-totaled-morning-moving-e70.html Sat, 04 Sep 2010 22:29:18 GMT Well--I guess things don't always come out as planned as I was going to keep my baby ('01 3.0 with only 107K miles) until next year and then decide but I was in a slow moving accident where it rolled. I will post pics on the e53 board when I get a chance. Main thing is I was ok and nobody else was hurt. So, as much as I adore my new Camry as a rental I should be getting a check from Allstate for my car I'm guessing for around $12K. So, my options are as follows:

1) Buy new with the $12K down---either 50i with 20"s optioned out at $68K or go the lesser route and get 35i with 20"s for $62K.

2) Save the $12K and go the CPO route--I see an '08 with 18K miles, 20" wheels for $48K that has everything I need.

3) Save the $12K and go with an '09 non CPO for about $55K.

Add'l Info:
- this is a daily driver
- I am single, no kids but a dog
- my commute is 30 miles each way and no garage at work (1st job ever with no garage but I do have one at home) but we are hopefully going to start to work from home more here shortly the rumor is
- I only want Jet Black (harder to come by as Sapphire is more popular recently)

Any feedback is appreciated ! ]]> X5 (E70) Forum BGM http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e70-forum/75515-my-e53-totaled-morning-moving-e70.html Winter tires http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e70-forum/75505-winter-tires.html Sat, 04 Sep 2010 16:57:54 GMT Alright, I've done a bunch of research on this - got a few clarifications maybe somebody here can answer.

Blizzak has two options for the X5 - the LM-60 RFT and the DM-V1 non-RFT. It appears the LM is the performance oriented option, and the DM-V1 seems to be a more true "winter" tire (R speed rating). Is this correct? Any particular recommendations one way or the other? I have the spare, so I'm open to doing a non-RFT, the DM-V1 is much cheaper. Also don't mind losing some handling for better winter performance.

Any other recommendations? The Continental WinterContact looks interesting, but I haven't found many reviews. Also seen some mention for the Michelin Alpin, just not sure how good their ice/rain performance is. Most important is hydroplane resistance and ice handling. Not as worried about snow or dry weather handling. ]]> X5 (E70) Forum newmanium http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e70-forum/75505-winter-tires.html how many of you wrapped your car with clear bra? http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e70-forum/75501-how-many-you-wrapped-your-car-clear-bra.html Sat, 04 Sep 2010 14:39:32 GMT i have a 2009 x5. love it but i would like to install the M aero kit. my car right now has some rock chips on the bumper which is annoying if i look at it. it would suck to get those chips again after spending $5k on the M kit. those of you with clear bra installed. how do you like it? and it... i have a 2009 x5. love it but i would like to install the M aero kit. my car right now has some rock chips on the bumper which is annoying if i look at it. it would suck to get those chips again after spending $5k on the M kit.
