Re: Some one please help
Hi if it is an E53 which wheels have you put on ? as the E53 uses 72.6 pcd compared with a 74.1 pcd on the later car , the wobble could be due to the wheels not been centred which would cause your wobble especially under breaking as the wheels load up . Simple fix is using some spigot rings 74.1 - 7...

Re: Tyre advice needed urgently
Hi to be able to run the runflats you will need wheels with H2+ on so later wheels for the E53 that fit are BMW X6 E71 but require spigot rings for the front wheels as the X6 run a different set up front to back 74.1 pcd front 72.6 pcd rear , also if it is a sport version you need the M sport 19&quo...
