I will search for more pics, but have you guys noticed that all the pics from BMW seem to be normal as far as height goes, but when we see actual members' pics its considerably higher. I will post my own pics next week when I take delivery. Thanks guys!

I am concerned. I too ordered a 530xi with sport package and 18" wheels, and am now very afraid that it is going to sit way too high.

I really can't believe this is an iX. Look at the small space between wheel 18" and arch (in comparison with picture of Touring above this one

Although your car is higher then normal I wouldn't say it looks bad.. I kinda like it because the wheel gap is the same all way around the wheel..


To be honest.... I kinda like it

Aw Sweeet I'm jealous! You get to wash yours and everything. My salesman said they have only delivered 1, and mine and one more are still on order. I said "Yeah and I've seen pictures of the delivered one!"

Thanks for the new picture. Looks great. A tad higher but not enough to scare me awy from my discussions with the BMW sales folk this week.

In snow & rain, AWD is hard to beat.
