I finally sold my 99 M3 and bought / lease a 2006 X3. I got silver with the sport package, i love the M steering wheel!

Anyways, i want to upgrade the wheels and tires. What options do i have?

What about exhaust upgrade? OR chipped performance that might help with gas mileage?

My wife even likes it! Which was a shocker, that pano sunroof it AWESOME!

yeah, I <3 the sunroof. Check out the venders, there should be software, and there are wheels. I don't know about ehxaust, but I'm sure someone is doing that.

www.tirerack.com for wheel options. I'd get some ACS Type 3 replicas for ours if we didn't offroad it all the time.

look good w/o chrome. 20 would be too much for an X3 IMO

I have 19 inch MVR's on my m3 im trading in, i wonder if they would fit the X3?

i was trying to find my fricken mirror to read the offset of my MVR's, that would be sweet. But then i would have to find wheels tomorrow morning to trade in my m3, which probably wont be an easy task

oh those seats are nice. I really do like the painted bumpers too, we'd scratch that up with how we treat it.

I think the MVRs would look great, and I'm pretty sure that they will fit.

The self color trim on your X3 looks great.
Style 87 wheel is still my favorite,but will the 20'' fit on your X3?
I thought the lug off-set would be different since your car is built on the 3 series format.:conf Just wondering.:buttrock
