Looks great Laura - finally! I vote for no mirror trim too - kinda like the black with your color. She looks nice & clean & shiny too! Also, if you really want to feel a positive handling difference, go for the camber plates - they really make a difference in the corners. I notice that the steering is just a tad heavier whenever I switch back to my summer tires - same as yours exactly, but I like the heavier steering feel - gives the vehicle a bit more substance. Enjoy your new shoes & congrats!

This is the reason I love sterling gray so much. Looks fantastic .


...and leave the mirrors alone.

No more mods! I HAVE to stop now. I lease the damn thing. I justified the running boards, then my brother, Mr. BMW purist, said get the wheels and he'd ebay them for me when the X goes back. I can go on forever. And by the way, thanks, heavier is the word I was looking for to describe the difference in the steering. So when you coming down to wax and clay me...

My goodness - I'd love to wax and clay you - maybe we'll even have some time to detail your X a bit while we're at it!

I suppose if it's leased the camber plates would be a loss when you turn the car in - wouldn't be worth the labor to remove them. Anyhow, those phat Diamaris on those sexy wheels make a significant improvement on their own... The car looks just great!
