I respect your opinion since you have an x5 sport (I come from 4.4 and 4.8i) and it has such a presence about it. Hoping the 35i w/ 20" wheels has a similar presence (like older ver 4.4s w/ 20" wheels).
I have not seen a 35i either (although I have one on order... how is that for FAITH?). My X5 M Sport has the 19" wheels, and although the 20's fill things out a bit more, I'm fine with 19's. Because the overall diameter of the wheel/tire remains the same they don't really fill out the wheel well more, just more wheel/less tire.
I agree about the presence of the X5, and I think in the right color with M Sport the new X3 will hold its own. White makes it look a bit bigger which will help - but I'm okay with its size.

In short, I've only seen the 369M wheels in photos like everyone else, but I can tell they will be very nice. The pictures are decieving, because 19" is a respectably large wheel.
I'm tempted to go on faith too! Thanks for the insights and pics! I can talk to you all day LedZep!
