No, they are OZ wheels.

Looks good

I did my Sapphire Black on Sat night and woke up this am to find we had a shower and a sand storm

BTW from your pics it looks like you missed cleaning the RHS tailpipe exhaust trim

Can't you pull it in the garage???

fedinand · 05-22-2011, 05:42 PM

It (garage) has had all kinds of things in there since the remodeling started - the cars will get back in there, but the garage needs a thorough cleaning first

How did you go about cleaning the exhaust/chrome tail pipes on your x3?

Nothing special - just washed it last with the car wash soap. The X3 has less than 1000 miles so the tips were still looking good. I have used wheel wax and metal polish for dirty tips in the past though.

Looks really nice!! Your tips sound like ours, with only about 1200 miles on them the soot wipes right off.

I am anticipating them getting very black between washes like our 335 did so I am keeping the metal polish handy
