745 vs 747 M wheels

Squirrel · 04-29-2023, 09:23 AM

Hi everyone. Australian new X5 buyer here so unsure if these wheels are offered in other markets or not.
I have two G05s under order, one has been built with 745s, the M60 will have 747s

Does anyone have actual photos of style 745 and style 747 M wheels on their new cars at all?
The 745’s look great but also seem like they’ll be a PITA to clean

Before 2024, the 747M was the standard wheel on the M50i (at least in Canada) and was only available in Cerium Grey along with all the other Cerium trim pieces. Starting with 2024, there are no longer any Cerium trim or wheel options available and the 747M now only comes in bi-colour with gloss black. I have yet to see any decent pictures of the new wheel on an actual X5.

I attached what I could find, hopefully these pics help.

Whoops. Too much bold dark print there. Thanks.

Those 745's look sweet! Not available in the US market though. I do agree that they would be a PITA to clean. Would love to see them in person.

Not looking for catalogue photos, actual owner, in-person, real life in the flesh (metal) photos.

Want to see what looks better. From the online photos, the 745s look awesome…..but car manufacturers always photograph wheels well.
My 50e has already been built with 745s but the dealer has said he will change them to 747s if I want before delivery at no cost.

I know this is an old thread but if you still want pictures of 747s on a car, i have the cerium grey ones, which I love, and I think they look great on the car. Here are some pictures.

I have the Cerium Gray 747’s and love those wheels. Very easy to clean the wheels and plenty of room between spokes to clean the red calipers.

745 Exclusive wheels look fantastic when powder-coated black

Ended up going with the lazy option (easier to clean).
Thanks for the input though everyone! 👍

eelnoraa · 10-10-2023, 08:22 PM

747 for me by a big margin. 745 is too busy, doesn't look expansive to me..

Chastizer · 10-10-2023, 08:50 PM

747 all the way! I have them on my car and I agree that they are extremely easy to clean and they look great and unique as many X5s out here run on 742s or 740s. I ordered them on my car without actually seeing them in person and it was great decision.

roamio · 10-10-2023, 09:59 PM

+1 for 747

The 22" 747 wheels are awesome and even better in person.

lknbimmers · 10-11-2023, 01:06 PM

Love the 22” 747s that were equipped with non run flat summer performance tires.

Aussiejem · 11-08-2023, 04:41 PM

In Australia, ordered a 50e with 20' wheels (couldn't justify the "Enhancement Pack" tgat includes the wheels upgrade amongst other options. Anyone interested in selling their 21' 741m set with tyres if upgrading/changing? I think the pre LCI would fit too. Thanks.
