Does anyone have pics of XI w/ 162 wheels?

bsjd00 · 12-25-2005, 01:13 AM

Could someone post pictures of a 325xi or 330xi with the 162 sport wheels? I'm very interested in purchasing the xi verison with these wheels (obviously swapping them off for 17's in the winter) but some posts I've seen about the suspension on the xi worries me. I'd like to see how the 162's really look on the xi.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

???

From the outside [other than the rear deck lid badge and maybe an inch or so in ride height] the 330i and 330xi are identical.

Just look at any 330i w/SP and that should tell you what you want to know.

That's what I mean ... I'm really interested in seeing an XI with the 162's because of the difference in ride height. The FWD version looks great with the 162's, but how do they look on the XI?

I know that the A4 without sport suspension looks like a 4x4 with the 17" wheels, so I'm wondering what the XI with its higher ride height looks like with 18's.

FWD??? What have you been smoking?

SORRY! I meant RWD.

Here are pics of 162's on the E91, which probably has a similar ride height to the XI's

And here's one on an XI, altho it's not the clearest picture

There's a better pic of that exact SG 330xi in the above link. It's a better side view of the 162's.

Here, I tried to adjust for a size equivalent side-by-side comparison:
