Ahh.. thanks.. I mistook the the heading for XL instead of Xi. Unsure about the US market, but in our domestic market XL was a suffix to all LCI cars. so it would have read 520i XL. Also we will very unlikely see 4WD models here due to sunny weather all year round.

Sorry to have thrown this thread off course

Remember back in the day (90s) when reverse dish was cool? I'm guilty of having daytons on a 1987 3 series once upon a time. When offset didn't matter .. They stuck out like 3 inches past the fenders? lol

Glad I've smartened up. Just wanted to share.

No problem at all. Though the XL could be confusing also. So the OP's car would be "525XIXL"?

Wow that is over twice the value here. It looks like you get taxed the actual amount of the car also! I hope you're not considering this car and its just an example. There is something about that car that doesn't look right. It looks like a pre-LCI and not a 2010. Also apologies for going off topic.

Yes it was just an example.. We recently got an '06 523i pre-LCI. thus my recent foray into BMW wheels and all other things BMW. (I replaced the set because one of the wheels was bent). our car is now in the shop having assorted wear and tear bits replaced including the highly controversial ATF fluid replaced.
