This reminds me of a recent optometrist visit, both are blurry, but I say #2.

I will say the first one only because I have the second one and I already get used to it lol.

I think the new 22” individual multi-spoke that equipped on the 50e is the best

If you look at the US price guide, new 22" can not be paired with 50e.

Yes because US regulation doesn’t allow non-RFT on no spare tire vehicle. But they are available in EU-spec

I never liked that wheel in the first picture. So I'd go with the first option. But what kept me from getting 21s in the first place (although it's a cheap option) is the lack of tire choices. Ends up being an expensive wheel to have on the X5 due to the tires. I went through this with my F15 and vowed never again.

This is such a tough call for the M Sport 50e in the US.

The first comes across as having a more rugged appearance and the second more sporty.

I'd be tempted to go with the first just because it's new and different.

I'm not completely in love with either though and may lean towards the default M Sport 20" 740M wheel and powder coat them satin black.... and/or purchase an aftermarket 22" option.

Pirelli Verde seems to be good non RFT AS option?

OR somebody went with 275/45/21, 315/50/21 and stated no problem.
Speedo will read little bit less(3%) but you will get less 3000 miles/100k miles on odo.

I have the 741M’s on my G06 and am a big fan of them. Like paint color, it’s a personal choice!

Looks like 22” or 23” 825M wheel replica.

Never been a fan of the y spoke wheels, but I don’t like the other option either. I like the look of 22’s on this car for some reason smaller wheels give the look of a huge tire in my opinion.

Wheel #2 will be a bit easier to clean of that matters to you. It also will make cleaning those beautiful painted calipers easier as well.

If I was you, I would not get 21 in wheels. Tire selection for them is seriously lacking. I did not do my homework and now I am stressing as I dislike the P-Zeros and their nonsensical prices and I would like an all season worth while and the Verdes are garbage according to most review.

Now with 21/22 inch wheels, the car does get slightly better cooling and a higher speed limiter (150 vs 130 MPH if I recall correctly). So if the 22 are not an option on the 50e, that is a tough one….

Man, the wheel options for the 50e might just push me to get the 40i ha!
22s are definitely the proper size for the G05 X5. So silly they're not an option on 50e.

The 20" 740M wheels look good powder coated. May go that route until aftermarket 22s.

For 50e M sport, the first pic 915M is the sole new option.
All other pre LCI options are still available, 740, 741.

But I agree. I wish BMW will allow us to put 747s on the 50e. They made an exclusive for the M60i
