I get mixed opinions on the spoiler but I figure since I have the Ac Schnitzer front and roof I might as well get the AC Schnitzer rear trunk spoiler.

My Ride: 550i 2009 Mod. with tints all around. Got Splitter and Spoiler coming. May do an exhaust.
GREAT advice. Thanks I hate when the rubber fins at front and at the front of the wheel/tire run over the parking Curbs.
I am also curious... Do you feel the ride in the 5er is better in some ways over a 3 series? Don't want to make it a loaded question.
Thanks Dan

This is my fourth Bmw I've owned three 3 series before this and they all were low in the front from my small mods,lol... so I've gotten use to avoiding curbs.. The only heads up I can give go over speed bumps on an angle (wheel at a time) instead of straight on like the garage attendant did to my car. And I never pull all the way up in a spot if they have curbs in front or those little spot dividers... Good luck with your car.. I love mine and plan on keeping mine until I get the itch to get the M5 or 6 series!!!..

Jill I did not weigh entirely the pros for a 545i or 550i over the 530XI. I had the op. to get the 2006 530XI and did so because of appointments and just that it is an all wheel. I feel the 255 hp is ample enough, but I never did get into a 545i to see just how much better the preformance is? Did you chose the 06 Sapphire 530xi because of that or because it was an award winning 6 cylinder and fuel saving? Thanks Dan

I feel the handling package is the same if you have the Sport package on a 530, 545 or 550, but do not know for sure? I just do not know when and if I drop her with the HR springs if it wil be the same and if the CPO Dealer will give me any objections. Thanks Dan
