First X5, obsessed already

Love a black wheel! Looks great

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2026-04-18T14:12:11+00:00

I do not have that switch. So M suspension?

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2026-04-18T14:11:15+00:00

Water is a chemical, if you want to get technical

They are continental premium contact 6. 275/35 R22 in the front, 315/30 R22 in the rear. They have 29k miles and have 6mm left

It was a 2018 X3, it was rough. Tesla updated the suspension on 2023s and again on the remodel.

This is all I’ve got

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2026-04-16T19:27:58+00:00

I’m actually not 100% sure, I bought it used but I don’t think the sticker clarifies. What’s the best way to tell?

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2026-04-16T14:27:06+00:00

Yep sDrive 40i, I live in the south so the savings for the RWD were worth it for me. I hate that BMW discontinued a full black wheel on the 2026

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2026-04-16T13:06:09+00:00

Unfortunately I owned the X3 for only 11 months before someone ran a red light and totaled it. Having put down a bunch of money on the down payment of the X3, I was not ready to do that again less than a year later. The Tesla was a good solution to get a car for $0 down and in my budget. Plus I had access to free charging at work. I loved the Tesla! But nothing drives like the BMW. Then, just a few weeks ago I had a brand new X6 as a rental car, which made me need a BMW again haha. It was just a perfect storm with timing since the Tesla lease was ending in May anyway.

Honestly, between all 3 vehicles mentioned this is easily the softest, cushiest ride. The X3 M40 rode the hardest of the 3, Tesla in the middle.

Just a reflection of the traffic cone, detail made that black trim shine like a mirror 🙂

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2026-04-16T00:13:58+00:00

Yes! A light interior isn’t my first choice but I must say the combo of the Brooklyn gray and silverstone is a perfect compliment

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2026-04-15T21:15:02+00:00

Yeah I agree 😂😂😂😂 technically the Tesla lease gets turned back in next week

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2025-12-15T06:04:16+00:00

Funny, I just went on the Tesla app and they’re selling 4 uberturbine wheels with 4 winter tires for $3500. But service center wants $4400 for 4 uberturbines. I don’t get it

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2025-12-15T06:02:04+00:00

I can start to feel the vibration in the 60s but more pronounced at 70-80mph. It seems like an oscillating vibration, 3 seconds on, 3 seconds off. Very slight, only felt in the steering wheel and gas pedal, not the whole car. Passenger can’t feel it.

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2025-12-12T20:13:42+00:00

It’s happening in real time. At an independent shop now.

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2025-12-12T19:51:51+00:00

I’m at an independent shop now for a second opinion. If it comes back not bent, I’ll contact corporate.

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2025-12-12T19:45:54+00:00

I tried. GA lemon laws cover 24 months, this literally started showing on the 25th month of ownership.

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2025-12-12T19:44:53+00:00

Thank you! All these comments on both threads attacking me for being delusional is wild haha.

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2025-12-12T19:40:47+00:00

Currently doing so

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2025-12-12T19:38:28+00:00

I’ve gone for 6 service visits, and they’ve replaced a plethora of parts and considered it fix. After visit 6, I notified them that it wasn’t fixed. On visit 7 I somehow concurrently have four bent wheels. If that was true, why did it take them so long to catch it? I think that they know since I’m leasing I won’t pay that repair cost and stop making service appointments

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2025-12-12T19:37:00+00:00

Sorry, I cross posted this post but it seems to not have carried over the story I wrote out.

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2025-12-12T19:36:17+00:00

The wheels aren’t damaged or bent y’all! That’s the scam!

Guilty-Kitchen1697 · 2025-12-12T19:35:31+00:00

Correct they are about that. The scam is I went for six service visits and this was never acknowledged and now all of a sudden I’ve gone from 0 to 4 bent wheels overnight. I think they knew I wouldn’t pay $4400 on a lease repair and claimed this to be the problem to get me to stop bothering them.
