That said, they are big and they aren't necessarily sporty. They are luxurious. But the "big" part is the non-starter for me. It's unnecessary space for me, or should I say "us". I'm looking as well to replace the QX60 for my girlfriend. I've looked at the X5's with sport package and that the route I will be going. The QX60 is already too big for her (and my garage). My only criteria is that my 95lb German Shepherd fits in the back comfortably. On the wheels, I think it's a non starter but worth asking. These cars have to meet CPO standards with they certified and I'm pretty sure they have to match the original vehicle order sheet.

On the wheels, unfortunately I agree. If it were March, I'd be more tempted to roll the dice and spend 6 months hunting down a deal on new wheels and just sell the 22's. But it's August and baby #2 arrives in October. Not a lot of time to screw with it.

Bought this today in Sorrento. Even on vacation, BMW "keeps pulling back"

This is the view from my backyard where I type this right now. Overlooking Capri.

Anyone know how wide of a tire can be put on a 550? I know it's subject to offsets etc but conservatively speaking. I know 245/285 can be done for sure but I want to put some meat on.

Need get dedicated summer set if I want 265/295. Next question is how long will they keep the 112mm bore for. I have a set but they're 120.

Yes, Cuban Cigars, single malt Whisky and tequila. I'd be interesting in learning more about coffee beans now that you mentioned it.

My fav method of brewing is French press so far although I'm considering an aeropress or clever dripper soon. My wife thinks I already have too many coffee gadgets (burr grinder, 2 French presses, kuerig, nespresso, various drinking vessels)…. I say there's room for more. Anyway I'm always trying to perfect the consistency of my French press. I'm a believer in "it's the golfer not the club" mentality so I like to find good quality, but reasonably priced beans and then work to brew them as best I can. Right now I'm drinking Cooper Moon Sumatra which was very reasonably priced on Amazon and impressed me when brewed right. I also have a passion for automatic watches… |

Recently bought a breitling and was never a watch person but can appreciate it now after seeing how they're made.

Also, FYI, when I started laughing and told my wife I was laughing at "the BMW forum" she said "is it the big swinging dick guy?" Referring to your comment on her preferring an X7 or GLS to a Telluride. So that's who you are in my house now.

I like cigars and have a handmade humidor but I know very little. I do enjoy a lighter wrapper and Cohiba Connecticut is really good, though probably over priced. My house cigar is Fuente Cuban Corona Naturals since I got a box of them last Christmas. For a house Connecticut wrapper, Oliva makes a good one that isn't as expensive. I love coffee but I know as much of it as my man Mandingo9 does. Also, for whatever reason I'm very sensitive to getting run down and jittery a few hours after drinking it. So I try to drink it in moderation (moderation is not something I excel at lol). I also like a good diet Dr Pepper on occasion and run through a roll+ of Copenhagen every week. So I'm not super expensive to please. Haha.
