Blue accents on wheel centers

I ordered an X5 with a similar build to Flying Ace. I am wondering about the wheel centers? Are they typically that shade of blue?

Are you talking about the center caps with blue accents? Those are new for 2022+ 45e only.
Every roundel has it, hood, trunk, wheels, steering wheel. It's a great touch.

The shade of blue is the "BMW i blue", signature blue color for the line launched with the i3 and i8. Also on 45e is the Electrified by I badge on each front fender in the pic.

Unfortunately it is and I will be replacing mine to the original ones, once I receive the 45e. IMHO, They are just plain ugly to me.

what I really liked about the 45e when I got mine in Dec 2020 was how it didn't look like your typical hybrid vehicle, and it looked just like the other X5 ICE variants minus the driver-side charging door. then they announced the badges and roundel changes with the MY22 release. i believe they're i3 and i8 leftover parts after BMW stopped their production, so they don't want to "waste" them

frankly, I'm not a fan of the "i" insignias because it now distinguishes itself from its siblings at a glance. also, the 45e is an "e" vehicle, not an "i" vehicle.

Hi, I'm curious as to what your offsets and widths are with regards to your rims? I'm looking to buy a set of BC forged but need to figure out the correct offsets before I order.

Finally, the right angle and sunlight that brings out the carbon black blue undertones.

Almost got that color. I went with Arctic Grey Metallic. The wifes car is Mediterranean blue so I wanted something different.

I used to love the old space grey too but the darker grey is awesome. your car shows well

Wife's new xDrive45e. She's already started calling it "her husband's car" and claims she just maintains it, lol.
