Slightly imobile at home my sciatic nerve has pinged today, obliged to be seated at the moment :(

My old E53. This presented itself about a quarter mile from home. Only seen once of course :D

And some 21" wheel options I considered but didn't buy :)

IMHO, there is such a thing as "too much wheel, not enough tyre" - both from a visual POV, and practicality. Even on an X5/X6 bigger wheels than 20" isn't "right".

As a senior citizen of some years now, comfort is important. 20 " wheels are big enough and a good compromise for me. Tyres are also easier on the wallet, generally speaking :thumbsup:
