I added matte black kidney grills, the matte black "530i" badge from Bimmian, matte black 20" Miro 111 wheels on Pirelli P Zero Nero tires (245/30/20 front and 285/25/20 rear). I also added the oem dark poplar gear shift knob and handbrake. Coming soon: matte black shadowline and Eibach pro kit drop. Let me know what you guys think.

He won't be rubbing until he lowers it. He's till on non-sport shocks / springs.

Nice tires man. Not everyone will spring for the good stuff. Be very carefull though. One pothole can crack your wheels with such little rubber. Miro's are pretty weak.

No rubbing yet, and hopefully not with the Pro-Kit rather than the Sportsline-Kit

Looks real good Looking at your 4th pic I can now see how the 550\545 rotors are bigger. I can see the shield on the back side of the rotors more on your car. Now that you can really see your brakes and rotors more you may want to do something with them as well. It's almost like having brand new white gym shoes with old dirty socks. Again, looking good!!
