Vicenzo_Veryon, great pictures! theman50k, I love that interior!

I was having LCI-envy, but I saw a few pictures of the pre-LCI with the aero kit and liked it a lot. I also added the wider flares. I'm considering painting them white, I'm still on the fence about it.

New 22x10s +30 offset were mounted yesterday. TireRack recommend 285/30-R22 for the E70. I wanted additional tire profile so I got 285/35-R22 instead. It rubs against a small portion of the inner fender liner at full lock but it doesn't seem to be a problem in normal driving. The tire size I chose actually improved the accuracy of the speedometer. An indicated 75 mph shows 76 mph on GPS.

Oh ride impressions ... I knew I disliked the run flats, I didn't know just how crappy they were until I rode on the new wheel and tire setup. The ride is smoother and quieter. It was a big difference, at least in my case.

The wheels on my X5 now I did have a similar style wheel on my E39 M5, but deep dish and in matte black. I know those comments weren't directed towards mine

I definitely wasn't bashing your CSL style wheels.

Love the wheels! Great choice.
