anyone know of a good set of pads for the X5 4.4 sport that wont shed so much dust, I think dust jumps off the pads onto the wheels after washing her just to tick me off??????

axis ultima pads. $49 rear and $100 front.

Thanks Allen, Did you find anything interesting on the camber issue?

I haven't got an alignment yet. you got me thinking about the 4.6is replica wheels! where did you buy yours?

Ebay, there are two vendors. one listing for $1,240 and the other $1,225 I went with the $1,225 I believe they were located in either Temecula or Corona. The only negative I have to report is the new wider tires follow road grooves much more than the 19"s but I went with the Continentals versus the Michelin or Bridgestone So I dont really know if it is caused by the larger size or the make of the tire itself.

is this the place?

I'll go with michelin they last a long time and base on the 19" I have now the behave very well (no tramlining).

that means I have to pull 8 wheels up for sale. not exactly an easy task.

I just got a set of those off E-Bay (The chrome ones) for the girlfriends 2001 4.4 and the fit and finish are good. I got the Conti tires and I will say that they feel better than the Mich's that were on the 19's.

I was reading the BMW option catalog and they say that the 20" (style 87)wheels will only fit X5's produced after 1/19/01. Does anyone know why?

I am also selling the stock 19"s (style 63) Whats the going price for a set of these? There is some curb scrub on a couple wheels but nothing too bad.

Here are the wheels on her 4.4
