Hello everyone. It's been 10 years since my last BMW ('02 325i) and I'm glad to be here!

Just got my '15 650ix GC as a cpo with 37k miles a couple of weeks ago. It's space gray with vermilion red interior and blacked out grill and badges (love it!) with Msport, cold weather, and B&O sound.

Got my first lesson on road hazards and run-flat tires... blew out both of the front tires hitting a pavement change at 45mph...

Oh well, I wanted to get new tires and wheels, so that's what I did (just a few weeks sooner than I thought). Original wheels are Msport 19s - 353's. Going with staggered Beyern Aviatic 20's in matte gunmetal (20x9's in front with 20mm and 245/35ZR20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06's and 20x10's in the read with 35mm and 275/40ZR20's)

I'll be catching up on the forum threads and see what fun/trouble I can get into. Thanks!

Congrats. Can't wait to see some pics of the Aviatics.

Thanks!

BTW, any ideas on what do do for a spoiler? Just looking for body color lip or low profile spoiler. Just started looking...!

Hi and welcome. Great car, you got to love the 650 GC and with XDrive you'll feel very safe in cold climate.

As for the spoiler I am asking myself the same question. Mine is Tansanit Blue so I am not sure the original M Performance carbon rear spoiler with part number 51 62 2 405 506 fits that well (color wise for me). But in the end it's the one I like most and will most probably go for that one.

Got my wheels and tires installed today! Wow - I'm in love!

I ordered the BMW M Performance rear spoiler for my 650 GC (BMW part #51622327610) from Steve Thomas BMW in Camarillo, CA. Ask for Britney in parts, she cut me a sweet deal. I don't know why it looks like a 2 piece unit, but it's not. Its the smallest carbon fiber trim piece for my car,(CF diffuser and CF front splitter), and also the most expensive, but looking at it, it is a very high quality item compared to the other two.

Thanks! I love them. Now I want to get my brakes painted red. Going for slight red accents to mirror the interior.

Vorpel · 08-31-2018, 07:33 AM

Thanks Chili for info on the spoiler! I think I want to go with matching body color. Just starting to look.

No - they are Beyern Aviatic 20s in matte gunmetal. I really liked the Alpina wheels but these I love!
