Yes - set of TPMS sensors, lugs installed and balanced.

Any coding required with new tpms sensors or were they plug and play?

Won't be putting them on til Winter, just couldn't pass up the deal. I'm assuming just a reset on idrive

New TPMS should sink up once put on and driven some miles

FWIW, I have the stock summer 22's and swapped the tires only with the winter staggered Pirellis last winter and the car performed well in snow and ice

Concern there is too much work and risk damaging wheels. But I get the process.

I struggled with this decision while building my X7. Since I was taking an April delivery in the Midwest, might be 75 degrees or 25 degrees with 4 inches of snow, so I built it with the 21" wheels and all season tires.

SUV's don't look right to unless they hv a minimum of a 21" in wheel but 22" make it perfect especially with the super sized X7. I bought the 22" X5 wheels because I wanted factory look. I like the look of it now with the 21" wheels and hv yet to install the 22" wheels. Just being lazy I guess.

Nice! I have the same wheels on our x5. They have been through 3 winters already and have done great. I removed the MSW cap and put a BMW cap on the now. Wish the X5 and X7 had the same bolt pattern, I would have kept these for the X7.

This is a pic when we first got them at our old house.

What size are these?

I just tried 68mm caps and they do not fit, do you have the right size

I should have been more specific, no BMW caps fit. I bought stickers that were pretty close to the exact size of the MSW caps. I removed the MSW sticker they come off pretty easy and replaced it with the BMW Sticker. I forget what size stickers I bought.
