LCI: Life Cycle Impulse. Refers to the "facelift" given to e60 models 2008+

Thanks for the LCI info, unfortunately, mine isn't an LCI.

Like your OEM 166...where did you find them? Or did you order on car?

+1.....Congrats...on your new baby...looking forward to seeing the pics...and +100 for Garry and the M6 offset 166's. Garry is great to work with.

Let the modding begin...
Thanks for the info, I have already order the iPod adapter from Garry.

Let the modding begin; my next change will be the h&r sway bars, and maybe the Racing Dynamics engine strut bar.

New wheels & tires in the summer. Probably M6 offset 166's.

BTW, love this forum.

Silvergray5456spd, you are so right. It's amazing, I don't even know you, and by you directing me to this forum resulted in my buying a 550i. Yes, you are right, I was set on buying a e92. Have only driven my car three times, but like it very much so far. So, a big thank you

Here's a pic of my new car. I know its nothing special as there are tons of black 550i's. I will try to make it unique as time goes along. Love the comfort seats!

Thanks for the response. I am waiting to hear back from the dealer on a few questions, but he is probably shoveling out in Michigan.

I came across a 2008 535i for $39,995 with all options I was looking for except Nav.

Hmmm.... 2006 550i with 27,000 miles for $35,500 (accepted offer) or 2008 535i with 27,800 miles for $39,995 (retail price)?
They drove 28k miles in one year? Get the 06!
