My Ride: 2006 550 SMG
Great Car Great House!!! Why did it take so long to get your car? 11.5 weeks, I would think being in Germany you would get it alot quicker... I got mine in 8 weeks, with VPC install of aero kit and im in USA.

I waited for 79 days and it's finally here! Last friday the dealer called and told me that it arrived and they're putting the extra parts on (M5 spoiler, trunk finisher, reflectors, and wheels). picked it up and she exceeded my expectations. I'm so glad i went with Alpine white/Auburn. just need to get it tinted and put some wheel spacers on the back. anybody here know how many mm the spacers need to be to for the wheels to flush with the fender?
I have to say that's probably the first white BMW I've seen in German autumn light that looks
Those 19s make a big difference. The whole colour scheme looks fantastic for that matter!
I would think 10-15mm spaces would do the trick.
Note, if you're going to put spacers on, you'll start having problems with the German T?V (authorities), because these spacers will deviate from the approved set-up in the car's documentation. Or are you exempt from these requirements - I notice you have the US Military plates on the car?
Cheers

Wow. Great looking, you must be pretty happy right now. I love 5 spoke designs. Not sure if you need spacers because these wheels really stand out. I'd love to see your ride in person.
Of all the BMW wheels, I seem most drawn to these. I just don't know if they might be alittle too much for me. I assume their 20s. My 124s seemed fine when I bought the car and now they seem too small.

Nice car and congrats, but that can't be base housing If so, maybe I should reinlist
If so, maybe I should reinlist it's about 15 minutes from base and the military is paying for all of the rent so i looked all over to find a house i liked and maxed out on my limit. Reinlist and join the Spec Ops community so you can get a nice bonus!
