Good Morning, Brothers & Sisters!!
Two days ago I traded my '16 M2 for a '21 X3 M40i. AKA my SIXTH BMW. I'd been wanting to get into an X3 or X5 for a while now, but knew that I would need one that could still perform a bit. Since the X5 M50i was out of my range, I decided that the X3 M40i would be a great fit and thanks to the guys at BMW of San Diego, I'm now the proud owner of a Sophisto Grey/Cognac X3 M40i. Now to my question. It came with the 19" 698M wheels which I did not want, but thanks to rofsky, I was able to get a set of 765M wheels to put on and they went on yesterday. Of course, the first thing that happened (which I was NOT expecting because the newest BMW I'd had before was a '16) was the sensors picked up that the wheels/tires had been changed and took me to the settings. OF COURSE there was the option for 19" & 20", but no option for the 21" (X3 M Wheels are 21x9.5 & 21x10 respectively wearing 255/40-21 & 265/40-21 tires. I didn't know what to do so I picked the 20" staggered setup so it started telling me that the recommended pressure is 38psi/45psi (or something like that). Is that what I was supposed to do, or is there another option? I'm sure I'll have many more questions, but that is the most pressing issue right now just because I don't want to mess something up. BTW, I have a set of 698M wheels/tires for sale if anyone is interested. I believe they have the Bridgestone Dueler tires and I know at least two are new and the others are prob around 70-80%.

It's a little bit of an adjustment since all I've had were Performance 3 Series and this M2, but it's not that far from the mark because it's the M40i, especially now that I have the 21" X3 M wheels on it. The comfort, the technology, the space, the quiet and that panoramic moonroof as well as still having some handling and performance is a win-win. It'll take me a little while to get acclimated to everything that car has/can do, but that's what you guys are here for as I know I'm going to have questions. But overall, I'm very happy with it and that Cognac interior is just gorgeous!
