My winter setup

yyzx6 · 11-25-2008, 03:21 PM

Just change to winter setup today. They are the M3 19" Style 220 rims, with 255/50/19 Pirelli Scorpion. I'm pretty happy with the result.

it actually looks really good

and don't you just love how white always looks clean ... kinda :P

Deda · 11-25-2008, 03:51 PM

wow,very nice..i have just one question..did you contact BMW dealer for that change? dont get me wrong but those alloys are designed,made and tested for almost 1000kg lighter car!

Good point there. the dynamic forces can be significant.
looks good tho, I think the X6 is quite thick, substantial fr. the sides.
It needs a bold designed wheel that has some rubber to balance the look. Low profile doesn't work for me. Like a big house on stilts.

couldnt agree more.

I think it looks way better with the titanium.
Guess the designers at BMW also think so and thats why they only put it on the more expensive models...

I think it depends on what the exterior color is. I think it looks pretty good on AW.

get titanium grill ASAP! looks much better.

xDrive50i · 12-10-2008, 12:27 PM

That is strange!

The 35i comes standard with 'Kidney grille with black slats and chrome surround' and the 50i comes standard with 'Kidney grille with titanium-look slats and chrome surround'.

The sport package also adds the titanium look (actually it's mat aluminum look) on the ventilation grids in the front bumper below the kidney grill.

Maybe they didn't have the black in stock at the time they assembled your car and substituted it with the titanium version ?!?

i am not sure,my friend order titanium gril from spare part department,he get black one on his x6 35i...also almost all x5 and x6 30d owners i know ,my dealer offered titanium grill,and they change it...for me,it looks much better.

I think it looks great on AW and VR, but I am getting SBM. I think in titanium its more expensive looking and in black more sporty, aggressive.

I think I'll wait till I see it in person.
