Gotcha. I was gonna say...either I got a great deal or you got ripped off! Makes more sense now that I know you got the sensors, too.

Today we had the 1st day of snow (0-1°C).
So at the gym at took a quick picture from a open window.

I don't remind having snow previous winter because I was trying to let the car break out. I'm still on on my summer tires but the xdrive is amazing. At the gym the parking lot was ideal to give a bit of gas. Breaking out is very neutral and with steering it can direct the car the way (sliding) I want. When I see other cars on the road, there slow, you see them go all direction and there idiots, they don't keep distance, they block you when they see you (from 2nd to 3th lane, nobody driving 1st lane, if they do you see 3 cars at 20 meters and then 400 meters no car).

Nice picture, try boosting the highlights a bit and perhaps raising exposure a touch on the car in lightroom

It's amazing what you can do with a good camera and a computer. Your car looks great.

Pretty happy with them so far. I used to run Alpins on past BMWs and loved them up through Alpin2. I wasn't sure how I felt about the tread pattern for the current Alpin line (Alpin4) and there weren't much as far as reviews at the time...and I think Alpin3 wasn't well received when I googled it for reviews. The Xi3s have been fine in light and moderately deep snow (acceleration from a stop as well as stopping). We also had a day where we had freezing rain and the roads were all iced over. I never had an issue. Even 'testing' traction on an empty back road (i.e. jamming on the brakes), they tires and X1 gripped quite well (between tire grip and traction control). Driving straight and negotiating curves/turns wasn't an issue and I always felt under control.
Updated w/ better pix (still a dirty vehicle, though).

Crappy shot of mine...



18x8 up front, 18x9 out back from my M3...old set of LM25s. Spacers off for the winter.

I'll throw some snows on the stock wheels next year and put summers on these I think.

Ordered these today for winter tires

Like that they use stock lugs. I think they will look pretty good with the LM Blue/black gloss exteriror trim. Plus they are cheap and fairly light (22 lbs).
Will post pics once on the car.
