Tidy looking car there. Why is your front bumper/splitter different from mine? Is it a coupe item?

The white looks terrible no offence!! I still think for these facelift X5 wheels, the only colour to have them is Silver. My mate has the same car (and wheels) as you, though his wheels are anthracite....and it looks horrendous!

Not sure why everyone is against the white, I think it looks superb on those wheels, love how it sits, kinda like my civic, can't go in multi story's, and ramps I have to pick and choose my routes so as I don't need to go over any your beemer will be the same lol

Are they actually X5 wheels or reps? Was wondering the other day as we had one in work and the wheels are seriously wide!!

They look so good on these, i want one

Aahh, right. My front bumper is the original, and never been off the car (to my knowledge) with the middle three-quarters oblong and cross-meshed, with the outer parts half round, and also meshed with a stainless strip horizontal along the middle. Not seen one on another e46, although I make a point of looking at all e46's coming toward me!

Like these a lot. I'm going to need an estate in the coming months, and looking to change my Passat Saloon for an E46 Touring. Love the wheels, maybe better in Anthracite though IMO.
