I was thinking about ordering till I saw what they were offering for options on the 535GT. First no 20" wheels at ALL! Are you kidding ME! I'd pay the extra 1000.00-- just offer them! Only 19's good luck buying tires for those and the only good looking 19's they have for this car (style 315's) they don't offer for the 535 in the US. The best looking wheel is the 20" 253's and they don't bring those to the states at all, not even for the 550GT. On top of that since you have to pay for Nav 1,900.00, and metallic paint 550.00 which are N/C on 550GT the real price difference between the 2 is not 7900.00 but 5450.00. Compare that to the differences between the 2 versions of the X6 and you can see they just don't want to sell a better mileage version of the GT at all. Better to pay the gas guzzler tax and get the nav, paint, and 20"s. BMW thanks but NO THANKS Cheap

Is all you do is look at your wheels??? You go ahead and pay the $1000 guzzler tax - there is a true waste. The 6cyl 300 hp is plenty fast for US.

Sorry, but I cannot help but laugh at your thought process.

cheers,

Sorry you find my post so funny. Yes the wheels are important to me, they make or break the look of the car. 18"s on this car look puny, 19"s so-so, 20"s just right. I guess the 100 or so after market wheel manufactures are wasting their time out there, since NO-One looks at the wheels. I have BMW 300 hp sixes in both my cars now, and yes they are plenty fast, but I have 20's on my x-6 and they look good. Just like the same choice in the 535GT. Cheap
