I would have adjusted the offsets and put my ADVs on the M40i if they would have been the proper 5x120 hub!

Back in e70 X5M:
47k mile, One owner since new (89yo who never set up M-mode) X5M in Monte Carlo Blue over Silverstone... He ordered new from Hendrick BMW, picked it up at the plant in SC... after that it never left North Carolina! all service records, all recalls, all service bulletins completed. Near perfect condition, clean Carfax. I couldn't not buy it! Hendrick BMW also completed $9k worth of service before allowing me to take delivery. All the techs wanted it, but it was too late; I had already sealed the deal before anyone in the service department knew anything about it!

Here it is with my 2020 X5M in Tanzanite over Navy/Oyster....

I was expecting someone to have dug up this 5 year old thread with a random question for OP but I'm happy to see that the OG OP is back at it. Your X5M was aesthetically one of my favorites as I got into my E70 X5D, so thanks for the inspiration.

As far as wheels go I definitely gravitate towards the period correct BBSs in a darker finish. IMO the E70 has some chunky/brutish exterior styling so delicate looking multi spoke wheels like the ones from your G05 look a little out of place.

I vote the split 5 spoke. Gorgeous. One day….

But can’t argue against BBS either.

Thanks guys!
I've owned F85 and currently an F95. I have enjoyed both successors, but neither of them received the amount of mods that My e70 got... I still look at every e70 I see going down the road... I like the body lines and the X5Ms seem to look even more beefy because they got specific bumpers, fenders, headlights... in essence, BMW did a better job to differentiate the X5M from all other X5s.

Because of it's impeccable condition and history, the plan is to keep this one close to original (EAG style). But don't worry, I also bought it's twin to mod and drive...
