The configurator is changing the wheels to 18" + runflats
They just put mine back on today. I saw the ad saying that 19 inch are not suited for M sport brakes and asked them about it. The 19 inch wheels are not compatible with the M sport brakes on the 50i and 50d but the M brakes on the M pack is no problem so two types of brakes.
I had them on last winter and checked again now an it looks like they have enough clearance.
I have the dark silver ones (735) they are only 100 euro more, I think they look much better and they have Michelin tires.

Ninefourteener put the bigger kind of brakes on his 50i so I guess the bigger ones are not standard on de the 50i.I wonder what the bigger brakes are called. M sport brakes and the other ones M brakes?
Can anyone confirm if 19inch aftermarket wheels will fit for winter? I won't be buying bmw wheels so need to be careful with offset and spoke design to clear the calipers too.
Thanks

Maybe an interesting finding?
BMW update their intro for the 19 inch setting. Please see below. The left is the "outdate" one, and the right is the latest one my dealer shows me:
As you can notice, in the latest one, they removed the "or M sport package".
So I guess it is safe for 19 inch with M package?
marcpitt wroteHow are your experiences with the 19"?I have the other 19" and they also fit fine. Although I think the darker ones that X5 45e posted look nicer
Are the calipers not too close to the rims?
I get a bad feeling when I see those pictures here and want to choose 20" wheels....
Is it possible that there's different brake size?
My 2019 X5 xdrive40i have the M sport package + towing package and it originally came with 22".
I now have 20" (OEM) on it and I can't fit a finger between the wheel and the caliper.
19" mean it is half an inch closer to the calipers, how can it fit??
DocOcthi，I have same question, my front caliper is M package 374, which caliper size of yours?
BMW have 345 375 395mm rotors and M caliper.
Thanks so much
