Winter wheels / tryes for the X5M

Post by pvr » Fri Sep 07, 2018 4:32 pm

Anyone know what will fit? Bit different from the E53 and E70 models I have had where there were lots and lots of choices by just picking a set of 'SE' wheels of the same model.

The M seems a bit "special" that it probably means that I can't get away with a standard set of wheels as the rims have to be 20" for starters.

Any wheel gurus that can advice on what will work without issues?

Have a look on Realoem under ‘Retrofitting’ as it lists the specific sets for winter against your VIN.

Check that TPMS and SSR (runflat tyres) are fitted too.  Some sets don’t use SSR or RFT tyres but all should have TPMS - assuming you car has the wheel sensors on them?

Thanks - will do that.

Will have to check on the sensors, not sure about that.

If the tyre pressure warning system on the iDrive gives you pressures per wheel, you have TPMS sensors on each wheel.

Jan 2018 builds have this set only.

Non-run flat but with TPMS....Style 611M
