Re: Brand new unused X5M/X6M winter wheel set

I've had a surprising amount of interest, and I realise I've been a little vague... They are style 298, Genuine BMW, fitted with Goodyear BMW approved runflat tyres. The new cost is about £2600. I am open to serious offers, but obviously I'm not going to give them away - all I would ask is that you ...

Re: Brand new unused X5M/X6M winter wheel set

Thanks Richard - I had heard that they would fit X6, but didn't want to make any false claims!
Are you sure about this?

Re: E70 wheel alignment

[quote="POC"] The wear on the inside of the tyres is pretty much 'standard' form due to the way BMW set the geometry up on the X5s I'm afraid. They need to camber to make the big ol' trucks handle! [/quote] This is not quite true... I learned a valuable lesson on my first X5 (E53 - with 20's) about ...

Re: Beware! X5M/X6M style 300 wheels on eBay

I did mention that in my exchanges with the eBay seller when I was asking about the 'spigots' he was claiming would do the same job ::) When I read around the 'boring' subject there seemed to be a general trend towards not doing it, although the reasons were mostly around the possibility if it being ...

Beware! X5M/X6M style 300 wheels on eBay

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=231209065823 In case any of you are considering these... Firstly, my understanding is that they won't fit standard E70 X5 due to the smaller hub size on the X6M/X5M, and the spigots he has will not make any difference. In fact the wheel centre ...
