Stay with the BBS mate. Much classier than the ADV.1s. That brand doesn't exactly have a stellar reputation.

I do like my BBS SVs... the biggest issue for me is that they do not offer an offset that allows flush fitment on our X5Ms. They are also not hub centric for the X5M rears (72.56) which forced me to use spacers and to settle for a design with less concavity than some others in the same league. I talked to a senior BBS rep about them and he indicated that they were not going to alter any production model to accommodate a limited market, but would be willing to build a custom set for like, $100k... OUCH!
The solution was to go totally custom with a set of forged two piece wheels. I looked into HREs, Velos, Morr, PUR and Brixton Forged before ultimately choosing ADV.1 for their styling. (Fingers crossed that their less than stellar reputation is now behind them)

Why would you go with a two-piece Velos wheel? They offer forged monoblock styles that are WAY stronger on our heavy X5's...

I came very close to ordering Velos S4 wheels, but I actually preferred the more racy appearance that the 2-piece configuration of the ADV 5.2 MV2 SL offered over the S4. Yes, monoblocks are typically stronger than other 2 and 3 piece wheels, but the ADVs are "mono-center" forged faces paired with forged barrells, assembled with titanium bolts... Keenan at Wheels Boutique has assured me that the ADVs will be plenty strong to withstand the added weight and power of my X5M.

Gixxer - (fingers crossed)

It was nice out, so I decided to take the M out to run a few errands this evening.
Here's a few fresh shots from my smartphone...

Awesome! Love everything, height, wheels, diffuser, tips, spoiler, the LEDs. Surprisingly good quality for phone shots!

No worries, Mate.
I wouldn't mind having twins... although mine is subject to change after March 3 (Date ADVs are supposed to be finished)

No, these are OEM. I had to have them coded.

They are available, but not cheap... totally worth it IMO.

Hahahaha! Yes you will have to wait (only because I really don't know myself!)
They will be this wheel style (ADV 5.2 MV2 SL) with a Brushed? Matte Bronze face and gunmetal barrells;



My rep tells me that my wheels are supposed to be completed by the end of next week.
Currently waiting on preview pics from ADV.
Nervous and anxious all at the same time, as in "What if I made the wrong finish choice", etc...

Gixxer - has fingers crossed

Yesterday was a great day to check out the "M Invasion" in Charlotte. Just about every M car I could think of was there except for the M1, which is surprising because I know of at least 2 M1s in the Charlotte area alone. The F series M4s and M3s had a larger presence over anything else, but at least 4 X5Ms showed up to represent.

Enjoy!

Wow what a great outcome, I'd love to attend one of those M only events, too bad I don't know of any in New England area, I guess will have to wait for Bimmerfest in July.
