Small option of color for the 45e so I took the most rare available, manhattan green metallic and coffee colored interiors was the pick and don't regret it. I order it with the 20" wheels because I did planned to get the 22" and below the current results.

Current mods;
22" M wheels
12mm front / 18mm back spacers
IND Front reflector
20% ceramic window tint
Side electric badge remove

Looks great! Damn near the same as mine. I was wondering how black wheels would look with MGM and I’m not disappointed.

Have you notice any hit to your EV range with the bigger wheels?

I have been asked the same question but I have not seen any change. In the US market X5 EV does not arrive with 22” wheels but in the Europe market yo can ordered the X5 EV with the 22” wheels.

I believe you could but not in conjunction with the tow package.

Looks great with those wheels! Where did you purchase the wheels and did you have to replace the OEM tires?

I modified our order from white to Manhattan Green after seeing one in person with the 742M Black wheels. I ordered some replica 742m wheels for ours.

With the spacers did you have to purchase longer wheel bolts? I ordered a square wheel setup because I want to keep the wheels on all year with all season tires. Maybe I should think about using spacers in the rear to widen the stance.

You setup looks amazing I can't wait to get ours.

Well my spacers are 12mm front and 18mm in back and yes I did needed to purchase longer wheels bolts, my wheels are staggered set up OEM, they are 9.5 in front and 10.5 in back. If your wheels are square wheel setup are they all 9.5 size?

Yes they are all 9.5" width. They are 4 front wheels basically. If anything I would maybe use some spacers in the rear to push them out a bit. This setup is used by some of the members here for winter conditions and the ability to rotate. There are much better all season tires available in the 275 width vs the 315.

I believe 12 mm front and 20mm back should get you that flush look

Did you change out the wheels?

I wish I got whatever package that would give me the black grill.
