1. Aerodynamic kit
2. exhaust tip (4.8)
3. reflectors
4. wheel flare

Got all my stuff online through multiple vendors. Aerokit and reflectors from Tischer (getbmwparts.com). Flares and tips from Ferman BMW in FL. Talk to Joe Smitha. When I was comparing prices he had everyone beat.

How are you liking the wheels as well? I'm also considering ordering from oemwheelsplus but am concern w/ the quality of reps.

BTW where did you get the BMW caps for your reps?

So far I put about 2000 miles on the new wheel set. I have no issues with the wheels and all I can say is its much better than the original RFTs. I am happy that I made the purchase.

The shop that I had the wheels and tires mounted said their were no issues with them. They were able to balance the wheels with no problem.

I too was worried about the quality of the reps but after talking to the owner of oemwheelsplus and he assured me that they have the same quality requirements as OEM. I like the 300M style wheel and this is only vendor that I have found that provide these reps or I would have gone with the original 300M and bore the centerhub.

About a week ago I hit a large pot hole that shook the whole entire car and I thought I bent the front right wheel. I pulled over to the side and examine the wheel and saw no damage. Steering was fine with no vibration issues and just to be safe I took it over to my buddy shop to have them inspect the wheel. He said it was good.

Hope this helps in making your decision.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that oemwheelplus provides the bmw caps for all four wheels. They dont provide the //M sticker so you will have to order that from a bmw dealership. I ordered it from Tischer.

Thanks for the help Daripper! I'm guessing you also ordered the TPMS through them as well? Your X is my motivation to touch my wife's SUV ...
