btw- the hub bore on a 2005 x5 4.4i is 74.1mm

pics?

i picked up a set of hyper black 215's today. had to retire the ferric gray 215s due to damage. the black kidney grills and wheels should look nice. id post pics if i had the car in my possession. unfortunately its being serviced for a "engine malfunction. reduced power" incident. i hope i don't regret the e70 purchase. my 2005 e53 4.4i still drives like a dream. not one engine problem in almost 10 years.

if you get an "engine malfunction. power reduced" error and you are a hard core driver (ie high acceleration and speed) the fix is likely a replacement of all 8 fuel injectors, coils and spark plugs. no idea if that fixes the problem but thats what they are doing. i guess i'll find out tomorrow when shes is ready and i take her for a spin.

so the "engine malfunction" episode is over. they replaced all of the fuel injectors and spark plugs. its like driving a different car. i thought it was pretty awesome before i got the em light but now, wow, this thing is a beast! what a cool new play toy. after i picked her up i took her out on a tour of LA. drove up the PCH to sunset and headed over to hollywood. what an amazing experience.

Last up painted reflectors

Looks good! I'll post pics up as well after getting a wash in this weekend. Did you debate the gloss black vs matte black grill at all?

i just ordered my JBD and planning on the reflectors next week.

Nice work!
