Yeah the wheels are 21", choppy I can probably handle, though crashy............
Coming from a 5gt so I "should" know how to navigate a barge on wheels, though admittedly I liked/like the drive of the GT on 20's

Hi and welcome to the forum and I like the space grey colour.

Does your x5 have front cameras and have you found it useful as thinking of doing this mod to mine

They're side cameras and yes they are quite useful at a t-junction.

Thanks

Yeah their front cameras, I'm sure they'll be useful for, eh, um, getting in and out of car parks and watching th inflicted damage of the high kerbs, just when I thought it was bad enough hearing the scrape from hell.
Caris being prepped, yet to collect .......
