Some pics from this Saturday. Got a wash and fronts tinted. Enjoy. _Tom

Early morning in front the the local courthouse.


Quick wash at the local detail shop.


Front.


Really like the stance now.


Creative shop name.


Less than 1 mile AFTER I just got the car washed! LOL

That's sweet!! Going to have to decide between one of these, and E90 M3, or the new M1 when it comes out. Posts like this one make the decision more interesting. Great job!!

Per our discussion it looks like the new X5 M has the same set up as the X6 with the smaller size hubs in the rear than the front.

Never understand why BMW did that - I don't see the benefit
Thx Gary. I knew you'd be able to shed some light on this. My new spacers should be in this week and I'll let everyone know how it goes.

this jod would not affect the warranty?

lowering the e70 would not affect the factory warranty?

Definitely get the spacers and congrats on the new wheels. The stock wheels are god awful on the M.

As for lowering, it's funny -- I lowered mine with the same set-up, but the ride was too harsh, so my wife made me raise it back up. I actually take the truck up to the mountains, so having the clearance is good to have, but it sure did look a lot better lowered.

Regardless, congrats!
