Weathertech mats are extremely well made and are great for protecting the interior of you vehicle in extreme conditions, but after buying them for my wife's X5 I learned there is a downside that all their ads never mention. They don't absorb sound in the manner that the OEM carpeted mats do; instead they reflect it. The X5 is noticeably noisier with the Weathertechs installed. So we now install the Weathertechs in the X5 only when there's snow in the forecast.

At last, a good use of the extra ride height. Steve

I actually like how the larger tires look with the wheel wells more filled in.

Unfortunately not until late next fall. I took off the winter tires 3 weeks ago, so I'm back to the OEM size summer tires. But when the summer tires need replacing I think I will go with the larger size.

No one else here has tried different size 21 inch tires? I'm surprised.

Woot! The car has arrived at the dealership! It took 5 weeks and 3 days from the time of order to get it here.

Sadly I don't think I'm going to be able to make it to the credit union before it closes to get the money to pay for it. Will probably be tomorrow before I can go pick it up. :\

They said they would park it in the show room until I come and get it.

We just took delivery of our SQ5. While it was on order, I ordered:

-Weather Techs (front and back)
-Oil Dip Stick
-Some other smaller stuff like new fog lights & etc.

Now that is here:
-Full Xpel Clear Bra
-Clear Plex Windshield protection
-Front window tint
-Some serious VGA repogram
-Euro Spec Tails

They were telling me 3 months when I ordered. I think I got lucky because they were able to switch a car they already had ordered (unsold) but wasn't built yet. It was on the boat like 3 weeks later. It arrived in port on Sunday and arrived at the dealer today.
