Trying to build by car, is M package + 20" wheels worth $3300 extra?

I am trying to submit my order but I have to make a decision if I should go with the M package or note.
I have two designs available. They are both the same, the only difference is one has the M Package with 20" wheels and the other the Xline with 19" Wheels. Is the M package + 20" wheels worth the extra
$3300? I almost never go offroad and most of my driving is city/highway driving.

Option 1 for $74,150 :
  • Xdrive40i
  • M Sport
  • Premium Package
  • Carbon Black Metallic
  • 20" M Star wheels
  • Coffee Extended Merino Leather
  • Driving Assistance Plus Package
  • Luxury seating package
  • Heated Front Seat Arm Rests
  • Remote Engine Start
  • Space-saver spare

Option 2 for $70,900 :
  • Xdrive40i
  • xLine
  • Premium Package
  • Conveniance Package
  • Black Saphire Metallic
  • 19" V-spoke wheels
  • Coffee Extended Merino Leather
  • Driving Assistance Plus Package
  • Luxury seating package
  • Heated Front Seat Arm Rests
  • Remote Engine Start
  • Space-saver spare

Thank you

Agree! xline has black trim around the wheel wells... ugly!

Black arches don't look bad with dark colors like black or darl gray. Almost not noticeable. But the more important point is that m sport trim is not just body colored but they are flared to allow wider tires. On f15 u only got the flared arches with size 20 rims or more. Not sure about g05.

Imho the flared arches made a huge difference to the look of the car.

Yes indeed. The arches are the most overlooked aspect of the x5 and cayenne. Imho the cars look so much sportier with the flared arches and wider tires. And look minivan like without them. Just go with a dark color on x line and u would be set (unless U go with m sport).

G05 design incorporates extended wheel arch trim in all lines - matte black from base and xLine to body color on M sport.
