Check out the new shoes.
Fitment is PERFECT! Sits as flush as it can get without spacers. Although if I was a betting man, I'd say that the rears can be pushed out another 5mm or so.
No talking about lowering, because we know what a bitch xi E60's are when it comes to lowering, haha. Besides, I think it looks fine just as it is. I think it's a E60.net taboo to have any non-lowered or sport pack E60, haha.
Onto the important wheel specs for other xi owners.

Onto the pictures!

No brainer on the caps...BMW all the way since VMR isn't exactly a status symbol, although the rims sure look sweet.
Love the SUV!
