I also ordered 747M 22"s on my M50i (w/ DHP), and did so based on my test drive, which was an M50i w/ 22"s on air.
I didn't notice ANYTHING out of the ordinary, except how well it rode.
My test drive included long stretches of awful road as well.
BMW has probably sold thousands of X5's on 22"s thus far...could it just be that the majority of posters here aren't familiar w/ the ride quality and characteristics of a large diameter wheel (21" +) w/ a low profile performance tire???
I'm just curious, as my test drive was faultless, but now this thread makes me nervous!!!!

OP specifically has 22” Continentals - can’t tell which tires the M50i in the video has though it looks to be Pirelli’s.
