Nope, that's stock with the Sport button on. Might be the angle from the pictures. These are the exact tires that came with the wheels too.

Trust me, I love the lowered look and have lowered ALL my BMW's over the years, but I did it with the X and the ride quality was TERRIBLE. I felt every little bump on the road and anything decent caused the worst sounding "thud". My wife wanted to kill me, especially when I tried to deny that I did anything to it. LOL! If I was single, I would have sacrificed the look for the feel, but being that this is the family car, I lost that battle immediately. The M5 on the other hand, she has no say with that car. I think the first mod I did on the M was to lower it.
