Hey are those the 2-tone wheels that are ferric grey on the barrels and sides of the spokes? If so can we get some outdoor shots?

Is that the engine in the new X3? Yeah, I don't think thats available in this range yet but I may be wrong.

They do appear 2 toned. Does the shot above help?

Yes absolutely, I love those wheels. How is the ride quality with the 19s? Do you have the dynamic suspension?

No dynamic suspension. I was worried the 19's would be hard but thats not the case at all. Its a soft ride.

Congrats! Great choice.

I just picked up my 2015 335ix GT, Mineral Grey, Coral Red, M Sport w/M Brakes, 18" wheels.
Ride is soft enough but not mushy. Was afraid of the 19"s in the bad weather here in NYC (winters suck!). Sporty feeling ride without it being too harsh.
Mind you, its all a matter of personal taste, when discussing whats considered a harsh ride or a soft ride. NYC is filled with bad roads. I'm 43 yrs old & don't want that race car feel when I drive anymore.
My setup turned out to be JUST RIGHT.

Nice color choice. I went with the Glacier Silver/Coral Red. Really like the red interior. Mineral Grey was a close second for the exterior color. In the end, it was one of those "flipping the coin" sort of thing.

Perhaps I should have gone with white!

The combo with those wheels is stunning. Are those wheels offered stateside?

I'm thinking of wrapping the bottom bit of the bumper in a glossy black. So I used some insulation tape to get a feel of what it will look like. The tape is matte. Definitely going to do it. It just adds a little bit more of an aggressive look to the rear end.
