(ride height is wrong here... see bottom picture for proposed height adjustment)







Please ignore the rotor behind the wheel in the next photo... I was trying to imagine a proper ride height



So what do you guys think?
BMW offers 21" wheels on the X3 M40i from the factory, so 22" would only be a plus one.

First Impressions?

Thanks for sharing and it looks like 22's have enough room on the M40i in terms of height within the wheel well area. However, it looks like 22x10.5 stick out slightly in the rear. Having said that, a staggered look with 22's (22x8.5/9 front and 22x9.5/10 rear) would look sweet and hopefully wouldn't compromise ride comfort or handling too much.
