My Ride: 2009 535i
Wow, color and sport package look fantastic! My Mtech goes on next week!
I was considering those rims, but think that I will still go with the 172s. Congrats. Very slick looking.

My Ride: 2009 535xi Platinum Gray. M sport, Premium, Cold, Logic, PDC, Sirius, and Bamboo.
From what I have foud out, the 135 M rims are only non-staggered. Why BMWNA would have chosen this wheel and a non-staggered set-up for the M-sport pakcage is a bit odd.
There seem to be very few 18" rims in their parts catalog with offsets to fit the xi's. I guess introducing a new wheel or even an old style on a new offset, didn't happen. Why they also chose to also put these on the RWD and go with a non-staggered set-up for those buying a post package including a sport suspension with active roll stabilization, etc. , seems very "un-BMW".
