I would get the aero kit first... wheels are easier to change.

without a doubt the aero kit, changes the look completely and you will be extremely happy with it. I love the standard wheels with aero kit actually and while may get 166, not necessary in my opinion now. See my pics in signature.

I am thinking of adding the 166 wheels and/or the M Aero kit. In an effort to save a grand or 2, would it look better to add the aero kit an keep the stock sport wheels or get the wheels and not the aero kit. I've looked and looked at pictures everyone has posted (thanks by the way) and can't make up my mind.

thanks!

Got to be honest, i'd go with the aero kit and look to change the wheels later - it'll work out cheaper and you do not have to stick with BMW wheels...you'll get more of a choice...

So is the "aero kit" just the front bumper and fogs, rear bumper and sills (skirts)?

Any suspension lowering? Steering wheel? Gear lever?

I would go for the Aero Kit now. Then you can be assured of a better paint match. The wheels you can add anytime. I posted pics recently of my 07 550. Here are three including the M spoiler. Good Luck!!

Not in the US market. Here the Aero Kit is just side skirts, front and rear bumpers and optional spoiler.
