Wheels.

If you get Mtech first, people will think it's a stock 5 series.

i would have to say wheels first because you can enjoy the wheels for a minute and then hit em with the mtech kit.

I say M-tech....you may pick out the wrong wheels based on you trying to over-compensate for the lack of a body kit which just fills it out ever so nicely.. then your stuck with ugly wheels and regret from bad choices.. (LMAO) GET THE KIT FIRST!!!!! shoes "accent" the car.. do it right dude..

I've been having this argument with myself for a month now, wheels are winning, esp with Winter upon us in NYC, BUT I'd say the bodykit 1st it turns heads more, I know it turns mine

Thanks for your input everyone! I may have to pull the trigger on the wheels. Whether it's 19" or 20" is still undecided. I currently have the stock 123 wheels. They're not bad...just not great.

Anyone regret choosing the wheels they have now??? If you could go back and do it all over again, would you choose a different style, offset, size, etc.???

Thanks again!
