Corrected. 2 months ago my dealer got stuck with a X5 Sunstone that a customer ordered that had no idea it didn't have ACC. I actually brought it up to my dealers attention when they mentioned they had this one coming in. They looked puzzled and had to tell the customer that ordered it. The customer refused it.
Reflections off the hood messing up cameras behind the windshield? That's pretty nuts.
That doesn't pass the smell test. How can white and silver work but a slightly beige color messes everything up.
Physics.

Great point there, it still may be arriving for the first full model year run. I'll stay tuned to see what may change for now.

More and more think I'm going to end up in a G05 40i, but we'll see what lease rates look like when I'm ready.

In other news, my CEL came on in my F25 yesterday, great timing right!

They may well be good vehicles, but the drive to put as many m badges on anything as possible is killing me and hint towards no real value anymore. Bmw is even going to start making vehicles with Benz too... all is lost.
Like it or not, this ship has sailed a long time ago. For those that feel this negative about how a company markets or produces their products...it's time to pick up your chips and move on. Besides, have you seen the new Porsche Cayenne Coupe? How about some of the other high-performance SUV/SAV models from other companies? Times have changed. They will change again.
I agree with both posts ... Let's build the X3M but at the same time lets have a proper sports car in the form of a new Z4M roadster and coupe!
Then we can all be happy with a full line of ///M cars across the brand. I would love to see M3/4, X3/4M, Z4M all with similar specs ... Take your pick based on your needs.

here you go, on the german motor-talk.de there are 2 pics of the X4MC in white with the 20" wheels. Just those are all black. but it gives you an idea.

https://www.motor-talk.de/forum/echter-x4-m-t6535213.html?page=1 you just need to scroll to the bottom of the page.
Looks good. I would love to find a set of these for winter. Also looks like those may be Michelin PA4 but I wonder what size? Sizes are very limited. Maybe they are X-Ice3 (terrible tire when it comes to handling).

Correct, as long as they are within a 1% difference. Found the article below that states 255/45R20 as Mako mentioned

How do you know? Have you driven it? Are there reviews saying it's under tired? Or do you just want the aesthetic?

It's just my personal opinion since m40i has wider tires, you'd expect the real M has wider tires.

It's true... Here is one of our early launch X5's that had the option.. Nothing but problems... If you try and build an X5 on the website it will make you change the color or remove the option...

By comparison I'm still on the stock Michelin PSS on my F80 at 18k miles and probably will last till 20k miles and I drive the hell out of it whenever I get the chance. My point being It's crazy how fast tires wear on big heavy SUVs. I reckon the X3/4M will chew through a set every 10k miles which is insane to me.
Replaced the stock 19 inch RFTs on our 2018 M40i at 16,000 miles. 90% city driving. Went with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. MUCH better tire.

I think my kid has run the Conti's before. Right now we have the A/S 3+ on all three of our vehicles (M40i,340i and Focus ST).

It's def the best All-Season in the Dry but I feel the Conti DWS06 have a slight edge in the rain and snow. MPSS would hydro plane in my X4 M40i lol fast forward MPSS still hydroplane in my M3 and MP4S too (maybe because car is lowered)

Are these a good replacement for the 19" summer runflats? Wife has Pirellis currently.
Would like Pilot Sport 4s but they're not an option at the moment it seems.

If you are looking for a non-RFT and cannot get the 4S then yes I would think they would work just fine. They ride and handle just fine on the dry and in the rain.
